Victor, Richard. "Saving Your Music Program: 5 Golden Rules for Music Advocacy." Illinois Music Educator Fall 2010: vol. 71. pg 62-63. Academic Search Elite. Ebsco. Web. 27 Nov. 2010.
The articles premise is to help save your music program. Within the article it offers 5 particular rules that can help you at least get your word out about how to save your program. Starting off with know your decision makers. Know who makes the decisions around your school will help get you pointed in the right direction. Especially to get meetings set up to get your opinion out on why it is important to keep the music program. You always have to stay professional. Once they begin to lack your trust or doubt how credible you are everything you have worked toward saving the music program could potentially be lost. Always stay realistic and persistent. If something doesn’t go your way keep trying, it’ll only help influence other minds about different subjects that can benefit you in the future. Involve parents and students they are the most influential thing you can bring to a meeting. Parents only want what’s best for their kids and kids only know what is important for them to succeed. School officials keep this in mind to because it’s their job to educate students to the best of their abilities. Finally, let your voice be heard without letting people know how you feel about your music program your work will just go to waste. This article pertains to my problem that music should stay in schools.
