Item Text
Studies show that where schools increase opportunities for the arts for all students, test scores rise proportionately.... Although pull-out instrumental lessons in the intermediate grades often come under scrutiny, largely due to scheduling, research has shown that creating time in the school day for band or choir has no impact on participants' test scores. -- Paul G. Young, Principal of West Elementary School, Lancaster, PA, and President of the National Association of Elementary School Principlals 2002-2003
