WHEN MONEY is tight, we often make decisions based on the path of least resistance. Often, this ignores human benefit that can affect our lives in profound ways.

It's in God's design that music be necessary to life. Music education must be seen as a necessity.

I've been trying to make a comment for several minutes, but I am at a lose. It's hard to comment without knowing the entire story. And of course, I find the cutting of music programs unbelievable. I fear the academic impact will be felt in ways that are not clearly in focus today. The immediate impact comes out in our emotion. The longer term impact is the real story. I will continue to follow this story.
