This past month was the 41st Music In Our Schools Month® founded by @NAfME, a proud sponsor for this year’s bipartisan music event on Capitol Hill hosted by Congressional Record this May.
Music education brings together advocates from a wide variety of backgrounds in a shared goal to support music in our schools, and NAfME has brought together likeminded arts education organizations through the Arts Education Alliance, which just released their “Collective Vision for Equity in Arts Education.”
Join us in supporting music in our schools for every student. #MIOSM #UnitedThroughMusic
