It's sad that so many schools are not teaching music to students. I have wonderful memories of learning to play the recorder in elementary school and singing in the choir. Those activities nurtured parts of me that the rest of the curriculum didn't touch. I currently teach, both of my sisters taught, both parents, all four grand parents and six out of eight of my grandparents taught, and from that perspective I am grateful for your dedication to education.
In junior high, I had two teachers who saw my potential - at a time when neither I, nor my parents, did. They made sure I went to what is now called an academic magnet school, and pushed me into an environment where I was exposed to an expectation of excellence. They changed my life in ways my parents couldn’t have seen possible, and for which I have been grateful all my days. Thank you for reminding me of this.
I was a Public School Teacher as well, I am also well informed about education and the core of Educational Psychology. What is happening is a purpose attack on Truth and History in the way this President and Administration has broken down our system. To make people stop believing in Public Education. Strip down Public schools so they can private school people towards self destruction.
Band is the best gift you can give a child next to reading, in my opinion. Like sports, it’s a team effort. It requires concentration and discipline, too. But in band, there are no losers.
