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

Item Text

“My son has ADHD, and has participated in the band starting in his 6th grade year. He is now a junior and has been on the honor roll since the 6th grade. I believe with all my heart that music has made that possible in part. Please don't take this from him.”

Lisa H., South Carolina
