Due to recent Budget cuts (Big ones) Countless schools are cutting out Music and Art Classes. Creativity can have a huge part in the success of Children, and Young adults. These classes helped inspire some of the great artists of today. So why on Earth would these stop? They are most commonly pushed aside as classes of lesser importance... Almost as if they'd benefit one any less than Math, English, ETC. But, not only are they a crucial part in ones Future, but they help bring fun to one's academic life. It may be a small act to reduce boredom... Which may effect the number of High school drop-outs in some way. Maybe a small cut back in Fieldtrip cost, or the support of Families could help. Please sign for the renewal of what we once had all over the country.

I learned to appreciate music in school and children need to have that chance to do the same.

Art and music should be kept in school. It's just as important as other classes.

Music and the arts is the reason I made it through school. Don't torture these kids. They can benefit so much from these classes.

To nurture our spirits through the arts are just as important as strengthening our minds with other means of educating ourselves.
Keep all the arts from being another cutback in the future of the welfare of our children.

My child has a mild form of Autism and since she has been able to be in band we have noticed improvement not only in her grades, but else where as well. Music does so much for a young mind that we need to ensure that it be taught in our schools!

I think music should be kept in schools. If they want to take something out,why don't they concentrate more on the drug situation?
