On Sunday night, "60 Minutes" ran a segment about the Harlem Children's Zone Promise Academies, a successful charter school in New York City. According to Marty Lipp, communications director of Promise Academies, every student takes music and art. In public school systems across the country, budget cuts and the pressure to perform better on standardized tests continue to force music and art out of the curriculum. The Promise Academies also provide "vital one-on-one instruction" after school. Whether your child receives arts enrichment at school or not, you can only help him or her by incorporating music into your one-on-one learning and playing time at home!
