Children Need to Learn Our Musical Heritage

MENC’s Petition for Equal Access to Music Education, 2009

Item Text

“I strongly support music education in the schools. The music available to many children on the radio and TV is certainly not representative of our musical heritage. Through music in the schools, children can learn the joy of singing, playing musical instruments, and appreciating fine music.”

- Ellen B., North Carolina
