Sights & sounds from @bkconservatory house part, which may be the best party in @BrooklynCB6 . Not only is it a great party, but it supports the great work they do from music therapy, lessons, and education.
Congrats, and thank you to Chad Cooper & entire @bkconservatory team.
Our commitment to supporting arts education is a year-round affair, but #ArtsInEducationWeek gives us all a great opportunity to reflect on and advocate for this essential part of a holistic education.
