MENC’s Petition for Equal Access to Music Education, 2009
Item Text
“Music is not only important for its intangible benefits, but for its contribution to skills in math and science. I am both a musician and a very successful technical person, and have been a math teacher. Playing instruments and singing have honed my skills at quick thinking and analysis. Studies say it's true, but experience proves it.”
