Congratulations to the:
Ann Arbor Public Schools - Ann Arbor Clarkston Community Schools - Clarkston Jenison Public Schools - Jenison Kentwood Public Schools - Kentwood Midland Public Schools - Midland Troy School District - Troy Waterford School District - Waterford Voted one of The Best 100 Communities for Music Education
According to the results of the eighth annual “Best 100 Communities for Music Education” survey, repeat recipients of this prestigious distinction cite increased enrollment in and funding for school music programs. While music education has been linked to higher SAT scores, math grades and future success in life, the survey also found that many students hailing from a ‘Best 100’ community have continued their musical pursuits professionally as educators, or playing for renowned symphonies, opera houses, orchestras and on Broadway. Several former students have even become acclaimed recording artists, including Outkast, Bob Seeger, Iggy Pop, Tanya Tucker and Isaac Hayes.
The ‘Best 100’ survey was sponsored by the NAMM Foundation, its American Music Conference (AMC) division and a partnership of leading national associations, including Music for All, that are working to promote the benefits of active participation in music and music education. The roster of ‘Best 100’ schools is listed below.
Thousands of teachers, school and district administrators, school board members, parents and community leaders, representing communities in all 50 states, participated in the Web-based survey. The 2007 roster includes school districts from 31 states that are committed to quality music education programs and providing access to music education. The districts were measured across a variety of program support, curricular and programmatic criteria. Because the criteria in the survey are measured proportionally, large communities and small ones are able to participate on an equal footing.
