We are face those cuts now and my son has just now found the joy of Band and playing the Trumpet, if I have to I will find him private lessons. It is sad the Arts are cut first when research shows the link between art, music and academic learning is over whelming. I taught Special Education for 25 years and often those children excelled in the Arts.ElmaBreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464184234270902641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194004850210567100.post-27275353410623399752011-06-05T15:31:33.005-06:002011-06-05T15:31:33.005-06:00Thank you, ElmaBree. :)

I usually manage to get my artist buddies to volunteer their precious time as judges to help me out. Indeed, it was the funding cuts and lack of such events at so many schools that made me create this event. It's such a shame that the Arts always seems to be the place where people see opportunity for funding cuts...Mitzi Sato-Wiuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077055576279541401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194004850210567100.post-39049683448579351052011-06-05T15:24:39.749-06:002011-06-05T15:24:39.749-06:00Lovely work as always, Mitzi, Good luck on the you...Lovely work as always, Mitzi, Good luck on the young artist contest.
