H. CON. RES. 380
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 5, 2004
Received and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and
Pensions

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the benefits and importance of school-based music
education.
Whereas school music programs enhance intellectual development and enrich the
academic environment for students of all ages;
Whereas students who participate in school music programs are less likely to be
involved with drugs, gangs, or alcohol and have better attendance in
school;
Whereas the skills gained through sequential music instruction, including
discipline and the ability to analyze, solve problems, communicate, and
work cooperatively, are vital for success in the 21st century workplace;
Whereas the majority of students attending public schools in inner city
neighborhoods have virtually no access to music education, which places
them at a disadvantage compared to their peers in other communities;
Whereas local budget cuts are predicted to lead to significant curtailment of
school music programs, thereby depriving millions of students of an
education that includes music;
Whereas the arts are a core academic subject, and music is an essential element
of the arts; and
Whereas every student in the United States should have an opportunity to reap
the benefits of music education: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That--
(1) it is the sense of the Congress that music education
grounded in rigorous instruction is an important component of a
well-rounded academic curriculum and should be available to
every student in every school; and
(2) the Congress recognizes NAMM, the International Music
Products Association for its efforts to designate a Music in
Our Schools Month in order to highlight the important role that
school music programs play in the academic and social
development of children.
Passed the House of Representatives May 4, 2004.
Attest:
JEFF TRANDAHL,
Clerk.
