Support Music Now: Colin Munroe Talks About the Importance of Music Education
Did you know that The College Board identifies music
as one of the six basic academic subject
areas students should study in order to succeed
in college? And did you know that the very best engineers and technical
designers in the Silicon Valley industry
are, nearly without exception, practicing
musicians?
Over the next few weeks, I will be featuring videos from artists who
are contributing their support to my Support Music drive to highlight the importance of music education in public high
schools.
This fundraising drive supports the The Dallas Austin Foundation, an organization that was founded by GRAMMY Award winner Dallas Austin and provides very successful afterschool programs to students in public high school.
Featured first is up and coming Canadian artist Colin Munroe who I have blogged about a bunch of times over the last few months. Watch what he has to say about music education and what it meant to him when he grew up.
DONATE NOW: Give some to The Dallas Austin Foundation. You can donate electronically
using the donation widget in the upper left-hand corner of
ArjanWrites.com. Thank you!
