[Dixielandjazz] Petition for Music Education in Schools

[Paul Edgerton]

In California, music *IS* a part of the core curriculum, at least in

have cut the feeder programs, which will ultimately kill high school
music as well.

Say what you will about NCLB, but it does include music instruction among.

The most proactive thing is to attend meetings and speak up.
