from the MENC website: "March has been officially designated by MENC: The
National Association for Music Education for the observance of Music In Our
Schools Month (MIOSM), the time of year when music education becomes the
focus of schools across the nation. MIOSM began as a single statewide
celebration in 1973, and has grown over the decades to encompass a day, then a
week, and then in 1985 to become a month long celebration of school music.
The purpose of MIOSM is to raise awareness of the importance of music
education for all children and to remind citizens that school is where all
children should have access to music. MIOSM is an opportunity for music
teachers to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and the
community and to display the benefits school music brings to students of all
ages."
