Top Music Ed News of 2006

A lot happened in music education last year for schools around the world, but chances are you never heard about any of it. Take a look back at the top stories of 2006.

Music education news happens every day of the year. Stories abound on the news wires and buried inside local newspapers about incidents that have shaped the programs of dozens of schools and music programs across the country. MusicEdMagic has recently published a two part article cataloging many of the more interesting and thought provoking news stories related to bands and music education in the public schools. As is pointed out in the article, it becomes obvious that schools all over our nation and world have many of the same problems with money, public support, and a myriad of other issues. While these stories may not result in earth shaking changes to the way we teach music, they do at least serve to pull our community together to know that we all walk the same path.
