Book Description
Music education has been scientifically proven to have cognitive benefits; these benefits include: greater attention span, increased ability in geometrical skills, improved performance in mathematical problem solving and spatial tasks, heightened fluency in reading, and greater short-term and long-term memory. These benefits give music educators a platform from which to advocate for the retention and growth of their programs and to encourage music as a lifelong pursuit.

Book Description
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 Description
Since it became a part of the Boston Public School curriculum in 1838, music education has been fighting for its place in American public schools. To ensure every child receives the opportunity to participate in a well-rounded school music program, educators have looked to advocacy to communicate and distribute the benefits of music education. Music education advocacy has taken many forms, ranging from student demonstrations in the classroom to national standards and new assessment strategies, along with bumper sticker statements and other written documents. Often, these advocacy statements expressing support for music education do not always uphold the true values and goals of the music education curriculum, or the philosophies of music teachers. The purpose of this paper is to develop an advocacy statement that promotes music education through teacher philosophy and music specific benefits with the inclusion of some of the wide intrinsic and extrinsic benefits of music education. This study includes a review of literature from well-known and highly regarded music educators and philosophers that describe different definitions of advocacy, and what content should be included in an advocacy statement. I used the collected definitions, content and research to craft a rubric, the Budd Advocacy Statement System or BASS, which can be used to review and write advocacy statements. I then used the BASS rubric to review current advocacy statements assessing their fidelity towards the goals and philosophies of the music education field. Advocacy statements from national organizations, state music education associations and school districts were reviewed. It is necessary for advocates of music education to use statements and essays that focus on the teachers priorities for the students and the overall music education curriculum.
