MENC’s Petition for Equal Access to Music Education, 2009
Item Text
“We have 4 generations involved in our music stores, open since 1947. We are a staunch supporter of the instrumental and vocal music programs throughout our service area. I have also taught instrumental music in the public schools for the past 50 plus years. It is not a well worn statement to say that students involved in the arts are amongst the best achievers in public and private education. It is a fact.”
