Why is the general music program at the elementary level an important and essential part of the school music program? zsorkin https://padlet.com/zsorkin/fsyowm8dlrdtr3hf/wish/3409253600 Because whether general music is the field you are going into or not, the skills acquired in a general music class will affect students' performance in other types of music classes. It is also, for many students, the only form of music education/instruction they will experience in their lives.

Why does the general music program sometimes suffer when it comes to funding? zsorkin https://padlet.com/zsorkin/fsyowm8dlrdtr3hf/wish/3409253979 Because they have a lack of visibility and there aren't many scenarios in which general music programs can "prove themselves" or their worth in a public setting.

What does a typical music program at the elementary school level consist of in terms of types of teachers, instruction offered, amount of time, students involved, and materials used? zsorkin https://padlet.com/zsorkin/fsyowm8dlrdtr3hf/wish/3409254586 Typically, elementary school music programs consist mostly of classroom/general music classes, voluntary choirs, and (usually limited) instrumental programs such as band or orchestra as you approach the higher grade levels. Classes usually will meet once a week for about 40 minutes.
