Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the US, school budgets are tightening and music programs, often the first asked to compromise in the name of a balanced budget, face a seemingly grim future. Monetary restrictions combined with an increasing focus on test scores have led to heavy cuts in school music programs. In many cases, communities and teachers untrained in advocacy are helpless in the face of the school board, with no one willing and comfortable to speak up on their behalf. In Advocate for Music : A Guide to User-Friendly Strategies, Lynn M. Brinckmeyer, respected educator and past president for the National Association for Music Education, provides a manual for music teachers motivated to advocate but lacking the experience, resources, or time to acquire the skills to do so effectively. It will serve as a toolkit for advocating, and also for sharing resources, strategies and ideas useful for educating everyone - from community members to political representatives - about the immediate and long-term benefits of music education. In Advocate for Music , Brinckmeyer draws on a lifetime of arts advocacy to provide answers to the questions so many teachers have but are afraid - or simply too busy - to ask. A simple, hands-on guidebook for becoming an effective advocate for the arts, Advocate for Music is structured around six key questions: what is advocacy? Why focus on it? Who should do it? How does one do it? Where should we advocate? And when should we advocate? Readers will have access to step-by-step guidelines and strategies on how to engage others, and themselves, in a variety of levels of advocacy activities. In addition to granting access to compelling research projects, the book will provide models of letters, webinars, research findings, printed documents, websites and contact information useful for communicating with local, state and national decision makers. Working in an informal, hands-on manner, Brinckmeyer lays out advice on who to work with and what to do: providing concrete examples of advocacy tactics from ideas on how to cooperate with the gym teacher to a sample speech for the holiday concert. As she walks the reader through the a myriad of real-life examples and practical answers to her central questions, Brinckmeyer shows that every educator, parent, family member, and administrator can and should be engaged in advocating to maintain, and support, the right for today's children and adolescents to have access to high quality music education. Advocate for Music is an important book not only for all pre-service and inservice music teachers, but aso for state MEA leaders and staff, administrators, parents, community members, and all those involved with arts or education associations.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this advocacy project was to advocate for music instruction within Freedom Middle and High School Choral program in the form of both classroom instruction and pull out voice lessons. This advocacy project research revealed the benefits of music instruction on the physical development of the human brain through functional imaging studies done of the brain and the effects of music. Studies indicate the more one studies and practices the discipline of music, the more positive the impact on the physical development on the brain. These benefits are transferable to the intellectual development of the adolescent, due to the continued plasticity of the adolescent brain. More music instruction in the form of voice lessons can benefit students not only intellectually, which may transfer to higher test scores, but also in discipline, attitude, and musical ability. Music instruction could be considered a viable resource in the quest for higher test scores.

Download or read book Arts with the Brain in Mind written by Eric Jensen and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the arts stack up as a major discipline? What is their effect on the brain, learning, and human development? How might schools best implement and assess an arts program? Eric Jensen answers these questions--and more--in this book. To push for higher standards of learning, many policymakers are eliminating arts programs. To Jensen, that's a mistake. This book presents the definitive case, based on what we know about the brain and learning, for making arts a core part of the basic curriculum and thoughtfully integrating them into every subject. Separate chapters address musical, visual, and kinesthetic arts in ways that reveal their influence on learning. What are the effects of a fully implemented arts program? The evidence points to the following: * Fewer dropouts * Higher attendance * Better team players * An increased love of learning * Greater student dignity * Enhanced creativity * A more prepared citizen for the workplace of tomorrow * Greater cultural awareness as a bonus To Jensen, it's not a matter of choosing, say, the musical arts over the kinesthetic. Rather, ask what kind of art makes sense for what purposes. How much time per day? At what ages? What kind of music? What kind of movement? Should the arts be required? How do we assess arts programs? In answering these real-world questions, Jensen provides dozens of practical, detailed suggestions for incorporating the arts into every classroom.

Book excerpt: There are many technological curricular activities in math and science classrooms, yet few are found in music classrooms. Although many elementary schools may be benefiting from advocacy for music and technology, many elementary schools in the state of Louisiana have lost funding for music programs. For the Louisiana Department of Education to act as an advocate for music education, there must be a thorough understanding of the benefits of music education. Extensive research is one way to suggest that elementary music classes can raise the cognitive capacity of elementary students and could be the catalyst for ensuring the upcoming generation’s academic success. Studies show that music education has proven to have cognitive benefits, including greater attention span, improved mathematical problem-solving performance, increased reading fluency, and greater short-term and long-term memory capacity. The qualitative research here attempts to demonstrate the many ways that young students have benefited from music education and how it significantly contributed to their academic success. The research here also demonstrates how quality music education can contribute substantially to the cognitive development, behavioral and emotional management, and academic success of elementary students in schools that may need it most. Parents take deliberate steps to teach children how to make good choices to ensure they live productive and healthy lives. Therefore, the community should consider taking deliberate steps to raise the cognitive capacity of the next generation by advocating for Louisiana’s music education.
