"Igniting a passion for the arts in every learner"
What we believe...
- The Arts are a core subject
- The Arts are recognized by the "No Child Left Behind Act" as a designated core subject
- The Arts should be taught to all students
- The Arts should be taught in all grade levels of school
The arts are core. The arts are essential.
They are just not tested in a standardized
manner due to our inability to completely
comprehend how they intersect with humanity.
"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."
- Gerald Ford, Former President of the U.S.
"Music is about communication, creativity, and cooperation, and by studying music in schools, students have the opportunity to build on these skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective."
