High Notes: The Case for Music Education

Students, administrators and academic researchers demonstrate the
value of learning music in school as they show improvements in
English and Math test scores, class attendance rates, cognitive
development, self-esteem and the ability to work with others.
Featured are Francisco Escobedo, the superintendent of the Chula
Vista Elementary School District; UC San Diego cognitive scientists
Terry Jernigan and John Iversen; and young musicians participating
in the Community Opus Project, an in-school and after school music
