 Music... • Develops skills needed by the 21st century workforce: critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective communication, teamwork, and more • Keeps students engaged in school and less likely to drop out • Improves the atmosphere for learning • Helps students achieve in other academic subjects like math, science and reading • Helps communities share ideas and values among cultures and generations • Is a disciplined human endeavor with intrinsic value to society A recent Harris Poll revealed that 93 percent of Americans agree that the arts are vital to providing a well-­‐
rounded education for children. Let’s work together to strengthen our commitment to quality music education for all children.
