I’d like to share an article from Kindermusik’s “Minds on Music” blog. It expresses our thoughts on why #MusicMatters in early childhood development, and yet how it is the least prioritised in the schooling system.
When there is a lack of access to these resources, music education becomes an issue of equity. While some families are able to afford opportunities for children, others get left behind.
Part of our priority this year is to do our part in filling this gap. On the one side, it is about education— helping organisations and communities understand the value of arts-based and play-based opportunities.
On the other, it is about doing our part in providing these opportunities for families, regardless of their capacity.
@baumhausHK and @kindermusikHK have started on this advocacy, and as this next quarter comes in, I can’t wait to share more.
In the meantime, check out the blog article by Deanne Kells, and also the 2020 “Music for Every Child” report by the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the Getty Foundation.
