Music Matters
At San Diego’s Jazz 88.3, we believe Music Matters. A ten-year study by researchers at UCLA, tracking more than 25,000 students, shows that students who are involved in music score higher not only on standardized tests like the SAT, but also in reading proficiency. The findings were true regardless of socio-economic background.
You can help give kids who want to play music, a chance to play music. This month, your old instruments can make a big difference for area students.
31 Days of May should be enough time to, 1) remember that Music Matters, 2) fully dig that Music Matters, and 3) contribute an old or unused musical instrument to Music Matters. These instruments are refurbished and returned to duty in the School System where, as you well know, kids want to learn to play music. Bring your new or used donated instruments to KSDS or to any Coles Flooring location.
