MENC’s Petition for Equal Access to Music Education, 2009
Item Text
“I was in choir when I was in high school, and it was one of the most memorable and happiest experience in my life. Besides learning how to sing and read music, I learned to appreciate the art of music and work with people to achieve the goal as a whole group. Music education also built up my confidence and character. Kids need music education because they can learn and experience much more than just music.”
