I am very excited to share with you the details of Mrs. America's organization teaming up with The National Association of Music Education's petition for Equal Access to Music Education drive and our Spare Your Change to Spare Music Education fund raising campaign. The goal of this campaign is to create awareness and support for music education and to demonstrate that music education receives only a small bit of change from every education dollar that is spent. We will bring signed petitions to the steps of the U.S. Department of Education on Thursday, June 18, 2009 as part of a huge music education rally. Thousands of students, along with their music teachers and parents will bring their own change to Washington D.C. and share their vision of the future of music education with the new administration and Secretary of Education. Our goal is to collect one million signatures to present to the new Secretary of Education at the June 2009 rally. The goal of the Spare change drive is to collect as much spare change as possible to demonstrate that music still only gets a small bit of change from every dollar spent on education in America. Remember, pocket change is music to our ears! The money that is collected will go to support programs that advance music education.
