I don't know if you have heard, but Fulton County just voted by a narrow margin to drop instrumental music from all public elementary schools. This decision has, obviously, caused an immediate outrage among Atlanta musicians who know how important it is for our kids' musical as well as intellectual health to start early.
Statistics across the board have proven that students who study music have better focus and broader understanding of new materials, and generally do better in school. I'm positive every parent has seen the effect of studying music on their child. The earlier we can offer them that opportunity the better chances they have.
