I.Temuna A picture
A picture is engraved in my heart; Moving between light and darkness: A sort of silence
envelopes your body, And your hair falls upon your face just so.
II.Kala kalla Light bride
Light bride; She is all mine, And lightly She will kiss me!
III.Larov Mostly
Mostly, said the roof to the sky, the distance between you and I is endlessness; But a while
ago two came up here, And only one centimeter was left between us.
IV.Eyze sheleg! What snow!
What snow! Like little dreams Falling from the sky.
V.Rakut Tenderness
He was full of tenderness; She was very hard. And as much as she tried to stay thus, Simply,

MUSIC
IS MORE THAN
ENTERTAINMENT.
MUSIC IS ART.
MUSIC IS SKILL.
MUSIC IS PRACTICE.
MUSIC IS LIFE.

Why learn
music in
school?
Because music
Research reveals
strong correlations between
quality music education in
school andacademic
achievement

Develops skills needed by the 21st century workforce:

critical thinking, creative problem solving, effective
communication, team work, and more

Keeps students engaged in school and less likely

to drop out

Improves the atmosphere for learning

Helps students achieve in other academic subjects

like math, science and reading

Helps communities share ideas and

values among cultures and generations

Is a disciplined human endeavor with intrinsic value

to society
A recent Harris Poll revealed that 93 percent of
Americans agree that the arts are vital to providing a
well-rounded education for children. Lets work together
to strengthen our commitment to quality music education
for all children.
Doing Well and Doing Good by Doing Art, a study by
James Catterall (I-Group Books, 2009), explores the
relationships between arts involvement, academic
achievement and citizenship. Using 12 years of data
collected by the National Educational Longitudinal Survey
(NELS) where students were studied for the same 12-year
period, Catteralls study looks at the effect of education,
visual and performing arts on the achievement and values
of young adults and compares students at arts-rich
schools to students in arts-poor schools. Students who
were highly involved with the arts outperformed their
less-involved peers, even within low socioeconomic
groups; low-income students with high arts involvement
performed better than the average study (at all income
levels) in the NELS sample. There is also a halo effect for
arts-rich schools; even students who are not personally
involved in the arts benet. These students are more
likely to attend four-year colleges, progress to higher
education faster and get better grades.
CATTERALL, J., DOING WELL AND DOING GOOD BY DOING ART, 2009
Seven in ten parents strongly agree that music and arts

CBS NEWS POLL, JANUARY 2010

their school achieving higher graduation rates.

I write to bring to your attention the importance of the
arts as a core academic subject and part of a complete
education for all students. The Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA) denes that arts as a core
subject, and the arts play a signicant role in childrens
development and learning process
US SECRETARY OF EDUCATION ARNE DUNCAN, AUGUST 2009

JENSEN, E., ARTS WITH THE BRAIN IN MIND, ASSOCIATION FOR SUPERVISION
AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, 2001

COSTA-GIOMI, E., THE MCGILL PIANO PROJECT, 1998
A four-region public school music education study
revealed that students in high-quality school music
education programs scored higher on standardized tests
compared to students in schools with decient music
education programs. Students in top-quality music
programs scored 22 percent higher in English and
20 percent better in mathematics than students in
decient music programsacademic differences were
consistent across geographic areas.
JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MUSIC EDUCATION, SPRING 2007

Top 10 Reasons to Join a Chorus
1. You get to be loud. Always feel like youre being shushed by teachers and adults? In choir,
youre actually encouraged to make noise.
2. Friendship. More than 42 million Americans sing in choruses, so youre sure to make some
new buddies.
3. See the world! Many choirs go on tours to exciting and faraway places.
4. Begin the path to stardom. Mega-celebs Beyonc and Justin Timberlake started their
careers singing in school and church choirs. Even President Obama was once a choral
singer.
5. Bring home As. Research shows that students who sing in choruses get better grades than
students who dont.
6. Make your college application shine. Admission folks will love to see that youre involved
in extracurricular activitiesespecially an activity like choir, which develops teamwork skills
and self-discipline.
7. Lamour. Lots of singers date people they meet in choir, because music is the food of love,
after all.
8. Back rubs. Yeah, thats right: back rubs. Many choruses do them as part of their rehearsal
warm-ups.
9. No schlepping. Singing does not require carrying around heavy instruments or gym bags.
All you need is your fab voice.
10. Bragging rights. Not everyone can say theyve been in the spotlight, but youll be able to
because singing in a chorus gives you the opportunity to be front and center, baby!
