Looking Ahead

     For the final project, I will ask the question: How does learning music help a student in other aspects of school? This is an important question for me to answer because some schools don't realize how important the music program is, and they cut it simply because its the most expensive program. When I present this to the people, there is one thing that would make a future band director's presentation particularly outstanding: A performance by the students. I've talked to a few of them and they have mentioned how band has made their middle school life much better. I think it would be great to have a video of the kids talking about how band has affected their lives. As my final inquiry, I will interview the music educators that I have worked closely with and allow them to give their opinion on the affect music has on their students' lives.
