[...] The Benefits of Music for Young Children [...]

And let’s make room for music education OUTSIDE of academia. Let’s allow it to stand alone as an entrepreneurial venture and give our education majors other options upon graduation. This would be good for students such as professional adults as well as youngsters wanting piano or guitar instruction – just two of the many groups not being addressed in current K (and often 6th) through 12th music education.

This would also be great for our ‘industry’ in creating career choices for music eduacators outside of the traditional classroom.
