Music Advocacy Facts

Fact pointer

Of those with a great deal of arts education, college graduates and high school dropouts exhibit comparable arts listening habits (i.e., reading and/or listening to books, plays, and poetry). In other words, arts reading habits are equalized with higher amounts of arts education - regardless of overall education level.
