MUSIC FOR ALL JOINS NAMM FOUNDATION TO NAME THE 'BEST COMMUNITIES FOR MUSIC EDUCATION'

- Designation Recognizes Community Support for Music Education Program-

Music for All joined the NAMM Foundation and several other national organizations to announce the results of the ninth annual "Best Communities for Music Education" survey, which includes 110 school districts across the U.S. The designated programs exemplify community commitment to include music education as part of a quality education for all children. This year's roster of musical schools represents 29 states with New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia representing the most districts.

"We commend these school districts for their commitment to assuring that music is part of a complete education for children," said Mary Luehrsen, executive director, NAMM Foundation. "It takes the commitment of an entire community to assure that music is part of the core curriculum. Children engaged in music will be the innovation leaders of tomorrow, and there is no better way to build life-long participation in music than with a solid base of music education."

The NAMM Foundation and its music education advocacy efforts work to ensure that all children have access to quality music education programs that encourage lifelong participation in music making. Music for All is a proud partner with the NAMM Foundation to support these initiatives.
