Save Our Children by Saving Their Music - Case Study of Glynn Co Research Proposal

only Our Children by Saving Their Music - Case Study of Glynn Co School - Research Proposal recitationAs I am sure most board members are aware, extensive research has been do on the effects music programs and the fine arts in general have on our childrens success especially children in low economic households where parents toil to cater for their necessities. I wish to percentage just nearly of these findings with those who do not have an insight on the essence of the Fine Arts in schools, and offer a few ideas to alleviate some of the budget burdens that may have been overlooked. At the truly least lets start a meaningful conversation. It is essential that a music incision be equipped with the proper elements in prevalent relations and music education advocacy in order to gain support from administrators, parents, and the general public. The field of education requires massive support from the community, especially in the arts. Glynn Co Schools house students, teachers, an d administrators, being a microcosm of the surrounding community. These schools represent the members of the community and often give an veracious depiction of the characteristics of the area on that pointfore if it is not an issue important enough for our administrators to get involve why should the public. Public relations are a key area in gaining the support of the general public yet when our band directors worked so diligently to secure a spot in the Cherry summit parade in Washington D.C., which only a few in the ENTIRE country were invited, there was barely a mention in the papers and not a word on our radio stations (Costes 52). I wonder if our young athletes worked hard enough to make the state playoffs if that would generate some buzz? Brunswick News heralding the wonders of our coaches as it called for every business to put on their signs GO PIRATES. Yes Pirates, go succession our young musicians, who have worked so hard, stay home because no one wants to fund the bu s to entertain them to perform that which has so tirelessly been taught to them. Let our chorus teachers spend their own funds taking students home so those children, whose parents work, can stay after school to practice but lets not give them the means to showcase the commendable job they have accomplished with these students. How about our Theater Arts teachers? How long has it been since we gave a standing ovation at a rendition of expiry of Salesmen or Little Women performed by our children? I am not suggesting that our athletic departments need to be quash or imply that they are less important, only consider and weigh how many children are moved(p) by cuts to the fine arts program verses those that are affected by cuts to the athletics department and coordinate the budget accordingly. I am not just talking about the band and chorus, because it follows that Ive got a horse in the race, I mean all of the fine arts departments. We should all be perfervid about this. Think a bout how many of the great thinkers were and are performers in either Theater or music. Right now there are studies being make on the ill effects football has on NFL players not to mention the law suites. There are exactly ZERO studies being done on the ill effects of band, Theater, or chorus. When looking at gaining public funding and support from our businesses, the Glynn Co Board of Education moldiness understand and indicate to the public important talent building among students and how we must ensure the survival and the success of the fine arts pro
