Music classes teach musicians to think on their feet, how to problem-solve, to have an opinion and provide evidence, to empathize, to share what they know with others. It teaches them to set goals, how to communicate effectively, to think about how what they do impacts those around them, to work together. Who wouldn't want these things for their children? Music is core to us a people. Other cultures realize it. Why don't we? Give our elementary music teachers what all teachers receive. Salary schedule and benefits.

Music educators are professionals who go through the same rigors if not more as other types of educators to become certificated (credentialed) as outlined on the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. http://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/req-teaching.html A music educator does far more than cover a base or pull a song out of the sleeve. A ME teaches the California standards and promotes musical LITERACY through well thought out planning. A ME teaches every student in the school and needs to be knowledgeable about methodologies and timely sequencing while differentiating for the needs of every student. It is no easy feat and students benefit GREATLY from the experiences which enhance cross curricular learning. Please support music education!

I fully support this petition! Understanding and experiencing all genres of music are essential life skills that are an integral part of every child's learning environment.

Carlsbad is a wonderful school district with high expectations and excellent academic results. It also has about $10,000 in instruments just sitting in a music room at these 3 schools. There is no music teacher to use them. It takes a credentialed music teacher who has Orff training, CLAD training, Ukulele skills, African drumming skills, recorder skills, etc. to teach students. Music is the universal language that bridges all students...gifted, special needs, English learners, etc. Let's get credentialed pay for credentialed music teachers and welcome them to be a part of the faculty, not substitutes (as they are considered by the district). Our district is considered #1 in all areas, except music.

I commend the community for advocating for what is right for kids. Time for CUSD to step up and value an education that includes the arts! I'm sure most of the community has no idea that the district does not fund k-5 music! Press on!!!! Music does matter!!
