Why do instruments benefit children in need?
The percentage of children from low socio-economic backgrounds who were learning to play an instrument was lower (12.4 %) than children from more affluent households (17.3%). The change in attainment over time for these children in both mathematics and English was statistically significant, suggesting that learning to play an instrument may have greater benefits for children from economically deprived areas.
Why is it important for schools to offer musical education?
Schools with music programs have an estimated 90.2% graduation rate and 93.9% attendance rate compared to schools without music education, which average 72.9% graduation and 84.9% attendance. Schools that have music programs have an attendance rate of 93.3% compared to 84.9% in schools without music programs.
What are the requirements for instrument donation?
To donate an instrument, it is imperative that the instrument either belongs to the donor or that the donor has explicit authorization to donate the instrument on behalf of the owner. Additionally, the instrument must be in new or gently used condition to ensure its functionality and longevity. These requirements aim to guarantee the quality and appropriateness of the donated instruments, fostering a positive impact on recipients and contributing to the overall success of the donation program.
