Art and Music = Better Education

If I could add a amendment to the constitution I would make art and music apart of curriculum. Not just music classes but incorporated in core classes for projects and every day learning. At different grades there'd be different types at different levels. Mainly I would want this for elementary, middle school too. It has been proven art and music helps children better understand, especially if they are more right brained than left. This oppurtunity could possibly get kids who are struggling to better understand. My mother being a special needs teacher has showed me sometimes you just have to try things at a different angle and this could be another angle to try. On top of that it teaches children culture. Trips to art museums would be a healthy idea. Art and music although enjoyable teach us diversity and style. Our world is diverse and to handle other countries in their future will require the tolerance, hopefully acceptance and enjoyment, of other cultures.
