Music In Our Schools Month Means Advocacy!

Music programs nationwide are in danger. State and local legislators are attempting to make up for funding shortfalls in this difficult economy by cutting education budgets that can place school music at risk. Advocacy can take place on many fronts, and advocates for music education need to learn how to speak to different audiences, each having a key contribution to make. Now is the time to get involved and do your part to ensure that America's students have access to a comprehensive, sequential music education taught by exemplary music educators!



The 2012 Music In Our Schools Month Theme is "Music Lasts a Lifetime."

The 2012 World's Largest Concert will be March 8, 2012.

More information about the World's Largest Concert and Music In Our Schools Month will be in the next Kansas Music Review. If you have questions, contact me at:
