[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While the emphasis on STEM (science/technology/engineering and math) is surely important, educators must also emphasize music (the added "m" in STEMM). https://m.mic.com/articles/110628/13-scientific-studies-prove-music-lessons-were-the-best-thing-your-parents-did-for-you#.xtZ9GVclc Don't you agree?[/quote] when you say "emphasize music" do you mean p;ay an instrument? This costs money everywhere -- it's not free. We had to rent a musical instrument (won't mention which one) but it was rent to buy and about $3600 as I recall. Only some kids can do this. Also even if the instruments were free only some kids will take to it -- You can't force music down students' throats any more than you can STEM.[/quote]
