Welcome to Miss Coons's "In arguing for arts-integrated education, let me state my firm beliefs, loud and clear. When it comes to educating young children, the arts are not a luxury. They are a necessity. They open children up to learning by giving them the gifts of self-expression, self-confidence, and creative accomplishment. They can help children co-operate and communicate. They can help change passive idlers into active learners. They can help connect students to each other and turn schools into communities....Put succinctly, in what I do not consider an overstatement: cutting the arts out of a school curriculum is cutting out its heart." "Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without." - Confucius (Chinese philosopher)
