EDUCATION WATCH AT THE WHOLENOTESeeing OrangeTale Of A Lively “Like”The WholeNote posted theaccompanying poster, advocatingmusic in public schools,on our Facebook page lastMarch 19, with a suggestion thatour friends “share the post ifyou agree.” We were expectinga decent response — after all,what’s not to “like” about that?But the actual response was jawdropping:41,233 “shares” (and still counting);well over 1 million views across the Englishspeakingworld as far away as Australia andNew Zealand — five cities with more than200,000 views — Los Angeles and Torontoneck-and-neck for the lead. The response,and the hundreds of comments that camewith it, reveal the passion behind the issue ofmusic education and opened our eyes to thepotential to harness the power of social andnew media to the cause of music education inCanada, the U.S. and beyond.RANDOM STAtsIf you google “music belongs in publicschools,” 700 million results appear in 0.17seconds. If you search on bing.com, you willbe presented with 80.4 million links.Reprieve for TDSB musicprogramsIt took one such groundswell ofcommunity murmuring back inJune to stop the Toronto DistrictSchool Board from cutting fundingfor itinerant music teachers fromits budget for the school yearabout to start. One powerful voiceamong the many was that of theCoalition for Music Education(musicmakesus.ca), tireless advocatesfor the necessity of music ina rounded education. It’s worthquoting from their public statement,issued as the crucial TDSBtrustee meeting loomed.“The Coalition for MusicEducation, Music Canada andMusiCounts [music educationcharity associated withCARAS] believe in the importanceof music education for allyoung people in schools. We arejoining our voices together tourge the Toronto District SchoolBoard (TDSB) to keep providinga comprehensive educationthat includes qualitymusic instruction for allstudents, taught by individualswith a backgroundand trainingin music. Research hasproven that music educationprovides far-reachingbenefits to the lives ofyoung Canadians, to ourcommunities and to ourculture. We believe thatdecisions minimizingany aspect of the TDSB’smusic program will have along-term negative impacton the lives of Torontostudents and on thecommunity.Music is essential toeducation and to life.Music education:◆ teaches students tothink creatively andcritically,◆ develops skills thatare essential in the 21stcentury workforce,◆ opens students’ minds to diverse perspectivesand thinking,◆ bridges languages, cultures and generations,◆ unites us through shared experiences,enriches our sense of beauty andimagination, and◆ supports student success.”As stated earlier, sometimes it helps tomake music, and sometimes it helps to makenoise! Two days later the TDSB voted, for now,to keep its music programs alive.INTERNETresOURCESThe Children’s Music Workshop website hasa wealth of material (childrensmusicworkshop.com/advocacy):articles such as “Whento Start Playing,” “Playing Music Tunes theBrain” and “Music and Young Minds,” andmany other resources such as Music Links.One click on that button will open up avast world of educational institutions, journalsand magazines, and articles on variousmusical instruments.The International Society for MusicEducation is gearing up for the 31st worldconference on music education to be held inPorto Alegre, Brazil, next year.
