Some schools have managed to choose music as elective but many are depending upon donations from community, teachers's volunteering, or not have it at all. My children have not been taught music at all. <br />There are other states considering eliminate music classes from their curricula due to economic situations. That is why mission statement remains "our community" because such communities that are losing music education are increasing yet we cannot specify certain geographic area. It aims at any community that lacks music education, not only in California but the entire nation. Our vision for the future is to bring the world together in the language of music. The peaceful world is "our community". michiko-chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438376016435075573noreply@blogger.com
