"
Proud to share that the following Michigan arts organizations have endorsed the MSU College of Music's position on the decision to cut elementary music teaching positions in the Lansing School District:

The Lansing Symphony Orchestra

The Wharton Center for the Performing Arts

The Greater Lansing Arts Council

Art Serve Michigan

The Michigan School Vocal Music Association

The Michigan Music Education Association

Click "Like" if you agree with these partners that all children deserve access to a high quality music education provided by certified music educators."

If you are not familiar with what has been happening I have provided a few links below.

I don't think we should stand silent on this.
