Music Education Attacked at Tamaqua's School

  • Always has been 5 Music teachers in the Tamaqua School District, as recent as 2 years ago this was cut down to 4 1/2, and now plans are to cut it down to 4 for this coming 2010-11 school year.
  • The district's elementary and high school band directors will now be teaching some general music education courses
  • Repercussions: At least 30 less music lessons per week being taught which will cause a decline in the number of student musicians, less time to prepare the band for community performances such as Memorial parades, Veterans Parade, Fireman's parade, and football game field show.
  •  The Elementary schools will have 1 Music teacher to teach all of the classes. Repercussions: no teacher preparation or transition time and quality of music education will drop which affects future musicians.
