WHY MUSIC EDUCATION MATTERS
Participation in a broad arts and music curriculum is central to both the academic and social development of our youth, and the data backs it up.
As of 2011, 1.3 million children in the United States do not have access to music education. This is despite the growing number of benefits being discovered every day, including:
72% less likely to drop out.
20% higher math test scores.
22% higher English test scores.
Better language processing, decision making and problem solving.
