Bill > H6052

This resolution proclaims March 2025 as "Music in Our Schools Month" in Rhode Island, recognizing the significant cultural and educational value of music education. The resolution highlights that the National Association for Music Education has long designated March for this celebration, and emphasizes music's importance in human culture and personal development. It notes that music is a powerful medium that can evoke emotions and has therapeutic benefits, and argues that music education helps students develop critical skills like creativity, problem-solving, and self-expression. The resolution asserts that music education is essential for a well-rounded educational experience and can particularly benefit at-risk students by promoting engagement and improving social and academic outcomes. Furthermore, the Rhode Island House of Representatives fully supports music education in public schools and recognizes the dedication of music educators. The resolution also instructs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the Rhode Island Music Education Association, formally documenting this recognition and support.
