Proposal: It’s the beat of a new day, the rhythm in your step, and the vibe that keeps you moving to and from. It is music, a motivating component in most people’s daily lives, often keeping kids in school and out of the streets. Seldom do many realize that music programs can be the motivator that saves many lives. Nassau County funds an initiative to save the music. I plan to find out how the NYSSMA, the Nassau Music Educators Association, views music to an area like Hempstead vs. Garden City.
