    This advocacy hearing opposes a proposal to limit music classes to one day per week. The music department argues this would be inefficient for student learning, bonding, and creativity. Three speakers testified that limiting classes would prevent students from developing proper technique, preparing for concerts, and learning national music standards. It was also argued that ensemble-based music requires frequent meetings for the groups to function smoothly and for students to connect with each other, and that beginning music students need more frequent meetings to gain real benefits from music.

    Statement: This advocacy hearing is being held on the behalf of the music department because
    of recent interest to cut all music classes down to one day a week. Our statement is to have this
    dissension revoked or modified to better accommodate both parties. The music department
    advocates that the limitation of music classes to one day a week will be inefficient to student
    learning, bonding, and creativity.
    Music gives us a language that cuts across the disciplines, helps us to see connections and
    brings a more coherent meaning to our world.

    There will be less instructional time which will lead to students developing bad habits
    and improper technique.
    There will be less rehearsal time, making it impossible to prepare a concert for each
    grading period.
    Cutting class periods will mean that students will NOT have time to learn through
    national music standards, and retain musical concepts

    The band, orchestra, and choir are all group related courses, where every student is
    responsible for their part or it will affect the ensemble.
    These music ensembles are great systematic organizations where students learn teamwork
    and how to blend with each other, these skills learned are unique compared to any other
    classroom.
    With infrequent visits, an ensemble cannot function smoothly and the students will not
    connect with each other the way they need to.

    Beginning music students need to meet more frequently in order to gain any real benefits
    from music.
    These benefits from music will improve IQ and SAT scores, as well as auditory skills.
    Students will also become more emotionally developed, and are more likely to have
    higher self-esteem, and to cope with anxiety.

    Majority of all students learn music only in the classroom.
    Music is a life skill that students can take with them after grade school.
    There will be a lack of interest among the students and parents.
