Wonderful article, I believe music is an important component in the development of a child's growth.  I was fortunate to attend school in the Springfield School District when Orchestra and Band were daily class choices beginning in 5th grade.  
I remember Light's for Music had purchasing and rental programs setup so every child could have an instrument to play.  Thank you Jonathan Light for assisting this program in purchasing the cellos, you do your parents a great honor.
