CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the benefits of music
education.
106th CONGRESS
2d Session
H. CON. RES. 266
_______________________________________________________________________
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas there is a growing body of scientific research demonstrating that
children who receive music instruction perform better on spatial-
temporal reasoning tests and proportional math problems;
Whereas music education grounded in rigorous instruction is an important
component of a well-rounded academic program;
Whereas opportunities in music and the arts have enabled children with
disabilities to participate more fully in school and community
activities;
Whereas music and the arts can motivate at-risk students to stay in school and
become active participants in the educational process;
Whereas according to the College Board, college-bound high school seniors in
1998 who received music instruction scored 53 points higher on the
verbal portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test and 39 points higher on
the math portion of the test than college-bound high school seniors with
no music or arts instruction;
Whereas a 1999 report by the Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse states
that individuals who participated in band or orchestra reported the
lowest levels of current and lifelong use of alcohol, tobacco, and
illicit drugs; and
Whereas comprehensive, sequential music instruction enhances early brain
development and improves cognitive and communicative skills, self-
discipline, and creativity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) music education enhances intellectual development and
enriches the academic environment for children of all ages; and
(2) music educators greatly contribute to the artistic,
intellectual, and social development of American children, and
play a key role in helping children to succeed in school.
Passed the House of Representatives June 13, 2000.
Attest:
Clerk.
