I was watching TV last night, and a commercial I saw actually made an impact on me. It was about how music programs are slowly dissipating from our schools because funding is drastically diminishing. It noted the importance of musical programs within a child's upbringing and schooling. Like how it teaches discipline, encourages teamwork and extra circular activities and deters students from getting in to trouble. With all the programs that remain funded within the Canadian school board I struggle to understand why one as important as music is the one to take the economic fall.
This website http://www.musicounts.ca/ encourages people to get help and help out. If you ever have any extra cash,( I know it seldom occurs, but just on the off chance)give some money to something truly worthy! Music really does count. Who will be the next Neil Young or Burton Cummings if we deprive Canadian children of something so essential?
