Too Often the Music Dies in City Schools, is a recent article in the Detroit Free Press.
While it’s a story we all know too well, cuts to arts education programs, it’s worth the read. In particular it looks at the issue through the lens of jazz players who have come out of Detroit Public Schools.
Makes you wish for a music education bailout…
“This year, 14 music teachers retired, and the district replaced none of them.”
