Dear Linda and Vocalisters:
I stand partly corrected. Music IS now a required course for
elementary students in Texas and, as it has been relayed to me, since
George W. Bush was governor there are now required achievement tests
to prove that these children are learning something. I do not know
what "skills" are being included in these tests.
I am glad to hear that I was not well informed about current music
education in Texas. Lets hope these requirements have a most
beneficial effect.
