Good News For the Future of Music
The Radio 2 Blog has some good news about music education:
"Music education, as in formal, in-the-schools music education that is, has taken something of a beating in recent years. Usually it seems it's a bad news story, cutbacks, and more cutbacks. So it's nice to have a bit of positive news to share. First, a project called Music Monday, where students and music teachers get outside of the schools and perform, all across the country on the same day. This year CBC is getting involved in all kinds of ways, more on that closer to the date.
The more immediate good news story is that today, MusicCan, (which does a bunch of music-education related things, including musical instrument grants to kids) is presenting a special performance by Sarah McLachlan in honour of the first Vancouver MusicCan presentation, alongside two school bands that have been funded by the initiative."
