Music education has long been a solid contributor to the producing of a well-rounded adult.  Study after study has shown that music education increases creativity and sociability, as well as contributing to a student's overall ability to cope with everyday stresses.

This page is intended to provide resources for those who advocate that music (as well as the arts in general) be considered a core part of the school day.

"Music education opens doors that help children pass from school into the world around them - a world of work, culture, intellectual activity, and human involvement.  The future of our nation depends on providing our children with a complete education that includes music."
