Hope we'll hear about progress in arts education; there's simply not enough music included within the general school curriculum, which long ago was mandatory in the U.S. I'm not sure how art classes have been affected; in the Stone Age we were all required to take art classes, too! Luigi, are music and art classes mandatory in Italy? Beginning with an Arts Advocacy "Day" is a good start...How about an Arts Advocacy Year to highlight the importance of arts education? Glo.

I've been seeing various ads in newspapers and magazines showing the impact of not having art as part of one's education curriculum. Wynton is so impassioned when it comes to arts and education- I'm sure his presentation will be powerfully persuasive. Anyone interested should check out Melody Gardot's story and hear her music. Hers is a very good example of the importance of the power of music, art and education. This is exactly what is needed today.
