Thank you for your insight regarding the importance of music in schools. I am always looking for resources that support education because of the music cuts that are happening all over the country in public and private schools. I hope to use this study in my future teaching years. Thanks again!

The quote above (and the study it introduces) is certainly having the best intentions and fighting for a good thing. But right the first part of the first sentence made me stumble a bit. It may be rhetorically smart to call New York the “cultural capital of the world” while then criticizing it’s lack of support for the arts. However, I think “culture” is by definition so much interdependent on visible and invisble currents, undercurrents and countercurrents, that it is impossible to single out a world capital for culture. (It’s even hard enough to single out one world capital for economy and one for politics, though this is still an easier task than with art and culture.)
Hm, probably I’m being nerdy now as well. Sorry for that.
