'''Nadia Boulanger''' (1887-1979) was a [[France|French]] pianist, composer, and teacher who was one of the most influential figures for at least three generations of composers from all over the world, especially the [[[USA]]. She taught a veritable who's who list of American musicians: [[Aaron Copland]], [[Leonard Bernstein]], Virgil Thompson, Walter Piston, [[Philip Glass]], Robert Russell Bennett, Burt Bacharach, and around 600 others. Ironically, she was credited with introducing American composers in the 1920's to [[jazz]], encouraging them to use it in their own compositions.<ref>Robert Morgan, ''20th-Century Music''.</ref>
