Please Support Music Education

Music education is very important for children. Music can become both the main occupation in later life, and remain just as a hobby. It can also discipline a restless child, and make him persistent and purposeful.

True, but in US guns are far more important  .

To have music education is to enrich.  To deny it is to impoverish.

Well, as a visual artist, I could say the same about the visual arts. Or science, architecture, philosophy, literature, cinema, history, sports, or many other variety of things that enrich our culture.

Of course all should be supported. If you feel lead, support any/all of the above.

@Bkeske I hope you aren’t trying to "all arts matter" the argument.

The main reason I made the point is that music education is often the first one to be cut in public schools and that every student deserves the chance. Science and history on the other hand enjoy considerably more support.

Secondly, we as audiophiles are consumers of music but may not necessarily stop to think about our role in it’s creation besides buying a streaming ubscription. If we love music we should stop and think about how we participate in the education and culture that creates it. This is, after all, not a site devoted to history or math or science in general but to music and how we get to hear it.
