September 2017 Well-Rounded
With Music Music is an integral part of a well- rounded education! With the pass- ing of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which lists “music” separately as a subject that a well- rounded student requires, we are reaffirmed of its important role in education – Music stands on its own, while complementing every other subject, and the benefits of music education are for life! In this issue, also dedicated to the Wisconsin State Music Conference, we share some tried and true (and new) ways music makes learning so great.

Practicing Inclusion
Teaching beyond the notes is a forte of music educators with the abil- ity to reach young people through music and make a lasting, positive impression on their lives. The mu- sic classroom can be a melting pot for bringing students together in harmony, despite their differences. From special teaching methods and curriculum/environment adjustments to ideas for recruitment and retention, this issue explores the unique factors of today’s diverse student body and how its many parts make a greater whole when we practice inclusion for real in the music classroom.
Engaging Support Systems
In the teaching world, the notion of stretched resources is an everyday “norm,” and in spite of the increasing pressure on music educators to teach more with less, those who develop, nurture and utilize networks of support, ultimately never go it alone! This issue dives into effective ways of engaging support systems. From partnering with performing arts centers and organiza- tions, to strengthening parent groups, to seeking financial support through grants, fundraising and more, we have your back on ways to keep students in the forefront while prioritizing the im- portance of music education in the eyes of the community and beyond.
