    There is research out there. Mostly that states the benefit of music education. like this , But, when it comes down to it, when school boards consider keeping the Music teacher full time, or cutting them to half time, and hiring a reading coach, and having 2 extra periods of remedial reading a day to pass the Government tests, they choose the latter choice. So, we’re in a state where we’re sacrificing the creative intelligence of the next generation for the short sighted goal of Standardized Testing. The next generation will know what a gerund is, but probably won’t be able to invent solutions to tomorrow problems. We’re losing the creative American culture.
