NEW POSTING - June 9, 2009

Dear MENC Member:

Have you signed the Petition for Equal Access to Music Education? MENC is asking the Department of Education to recognize music education as a mandatory component of every public education curriculum.

The petition is available in an easy-to-share electronic format. Help MENC collect signatures on the petition to present to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on June 18 at the Rally for Music Education.

Forward the petition to everyone in your address book—and ask them to do the same. Don't forget to sign it yourself if you haven't already.

To learn more about the petition drive, visit
3 Ways to Change Music Education. To read about petition events around the country, visit MENC News Archive and view "Petition's Progress" articles.
