Music allows us to celebrate and preserve our cultural heritages, and also to explore the realms of
expression, imagination, and creation resulting in new knowledge. Therefore, every individual should
be guaranteed the opportunity to learn music and to share in musical experiences.
MENC’s Mission
To advance music education by encouraging the study and making of music by all.

The goal of this campaign is to make sure that you—parents and concerned citizens—know that you
are potentially the best and most powerful supporters of arts education. We have supplied you with
information and resources on this website that help establish the place of the arts as both a full
academic subject area and as uniquely empowering activities that carry over into other areas of life
and study.
