Description
Whenever schools experience budget shortages, music programs are often times the first to be impacted or even dropped. Research suggests that this could ultimately have a profound impact on students' futures. There have been multiple studies that have concluded that exposing students to music classes in school can lead to grest success in their future in multiple different ways. Music education improves math, reading, communication, and motor skills. In fact, many of the most academically successful countries place a huge emphasis on music within students' studies. It provides a means of expression for students that struggle in school or with their home life. It even has multiple health benefits. As a student with 8 years of band experience and a lifetime advocate for music education, I will provide reasons, examples, and statistics to encourage others to actively support keeping music education in our school systems.
