AI Summary
This bill adds arts and music education as a common school branch that should be incorporated into the public school curriculum in New York, in order to provide a more well-rounded education for children. The bill amends the state's education law to include arts and music as part of the required course of study for the first eight years of public schools, as well as in the specialized training beyond the first eight years.
