The new sounds of success in school
Article Abstract:
Public schools in the US virtually abandoned arts education in the late '70s and early '80s, but are slowly returning to it now. A recent study showed that students with 4 or more years of arts education performed better on tests than students with 6 months or less of arts education. Music and other arts programs can nurture artistic talent in children much the way sports programs do, giving otherwise disadvantaged children an advantage. Evidence also suggests that students involved in music programs improve their performance in academics.
