Almost done

I have one more post to do after this one. My makeup post will be my final blog on this topic. Who knows... Maybe I'll create another blog at some point in my life. :) But for now, I'm doing fine with my scrapbook. :) I have so much to catch up on. But that's besides the point. Our topic for today is encouraging our school systems. :)

In case not everyone knows, music education is in danger from being extinct in high schools. Of course our economy is slowly getting better, but we can't let dropping music education. We must all encourage our school systems to continue with music programs. Can you imagine an elementary school without music? Without recorders?

Money

Money may be an issue when parents want to start their children with music. Especially if they have multiple kids who want to play different instruments. Not only are the instruments expensive, but the private lessons are as well. Who can pay all these expenses unless you have an amazing high paying job? Many people are willing to provide the solution to this problem. If you attend a church then there are many people who are willing to give cheap music lessons to your children. Also, you can talk to people who live close to you who have the instrument that your child wishes to play in case you don't have the money to get the instrument for your child to practice. Then later in life, when you see that your child isn't giving this up, you can invest in an instrument.
