Stakeholders, join Commissioner Larry Johnson, JFly, founder of the How Big Is Your Dream Foundation, and members of its Board of Directors for a highly informative session on what music is, it's impact on the community, as well as implementations for the future during the for teens by teens Winter Bash at 6pm.

OVERVIEW: Music heals the soul, the person, and ultimately a community of people that are vital assets and are striving to make an impact on the community they live in.    Law in the education sector requires public schools to offer all K-12 student’s instruction in visual and performing arts, but in reality, many don’t have access to consistent and high-quality arts and music education. When school budgets tighten, programs like music, dance, theater and art are often the first to be cut. Many children have missed out on that learning because of the short-sighted decisions of state lawmakers and school district officials who send the message that arts and music programs, while nice to have, are not essential. That’s unacceptable in a state that is known throughout the world as an arts and entertainment capital and where creative industries are an important part of the economy. Music heals the soul, the person, and ultimately a community of people that are vital assets and are striving to make an impact on the community they live in.  Let's talk about it.
