Part 7/9:
The Future of Music Education
Contemplating my daughter's future and the future of her generation, I consider the potential wonders if music education were universally implemented. The implications for literacy, numeracy, social interaction, and even political discourse could be monumental. If we invest early in music education, we might radically transform the landscape in which future generations will thrive.
Critically, education must not focus solely on immediate results but rather adopt a long-term perspective. Policies often react to short-term challenges without considering potential societal benefits. Perhaps now is the time to advocate for a shift towards recognizing music education as a core part of a comprehensive curriculum.
