A SCHOOL MUST CONDUCT THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PROGRAM AS PART OF THEIR REGULAR SCHOOL DAY, AND PROVIDE THE SALARY FOR A CERTIFIED MUSIC EDUCATOR FOR INSTRUCTION.

MUSIC EDUACTORS FROM GRANT RECIPIENT SCHOOLS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS THAT FOCUS ON GROWING THEIR SKILLS AND BUILDING THEIR MUSIC PROGRAM. THERE HAVE BEEN CASES IN SOME OF VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION GRANT RECIPIENT COMMUNITIES WHERE SCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT HAD BEEN JUMP-STARTED BY THE FOUNDATION WERE THREATENED TO BE ELIMINATED.

IN MOST ALL CASES THE PROGRAMS WERE NOT ELIMINATED. THE CONVERSATIONS THAT TAKE PLACE WHILE ADVOCATING IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES PROVE MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN DECISION MAKERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STAKEHOLDERS, AND FUNDERS ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC EDUACTION. FOR THIS REASON, VH1 SAVE THE MUSIC FOUNDATION EMPLOYS A NUMB
