The Prism Project, Multi-Dimensional Approach to Music in Education

For the last decade, public schools have debated much on whether they will offer or continue offering a music class. What some schools don't know is that kids who were not able to have a music class in their early years of education are at a disadvantaged position when they enter college. This is because a music class is able to stimulate the other part of the brain not used in regular classes like math and science. A music class develops a child's creativity and provides him the means to exercise both sides of the brain. It is not ideal to just constantly use one side of the brain. A child's full potential is achieved when he or she learns how to use the brain in its entirety.

I am pleased to confer a proposal for “The Prism Project” a multi-dimensional approach to music in education. At the first stage we propose for a Music Conference in November, 2011 which will help us to prepare vigorous strategies for The Prism Project.
