CMA Foundation Aligns With Organizations For Arts Support
The CMA Foundation has lent its voice to support the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) and 53 national organizations in a unified statement that advocates for an arts education for all students.
“It is crucial that we prioritize music and arts education in school curriculums,” says Tiffany Kerns, CMA Foundation Executive Director and CMA Vice President, Community Outreach. “More than ever before, music is providing inspiration and support to carry students, teachers and parents through the immense uncertainty we’re experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It comes as no surprise that music is thriving in virtual learning settings. It is imperative to recognize the importance of arts education and its impact on the development of youth during this time, so that students around the country can be provided with the well-rounded education they deserve.”
