Return to index of stories... 		Next on New Hampshire Outlook tonight.
For most of us, music is an important part of our lives. Music inspires us, romances us and helps tell our stories.
So should music have a place in New Hampshire classrooms? We'll explore the options.
script iconHello/Special Edition
Return to index of stories... 		Good Evening. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to this special year-end edition of New Hampshire Outlook.
Tonight we're talking about music.
Whether we play an instrument or simply listen to the radio, music is a part of our everyday lives.
Joining me now in the studio are two guests, Sarah Breslin, a university student and violinist and Andy Soucy, a teacher from Londonderry High School. We'll be talking about the value of music in education.
script iconIntro Fiddler
Return to index of stories... 		We're going to first take a look at a story that John Clayton presented a couple of years ago on Crossroads. It was recorded while you were a junior in high school and it says a lot about how music has helped shape your life.
script iconIntro discussion
Return to index of stories... 		Everyone in our studios loved watching that story. They loved watching you play.
What goes through your mind when you're performing?

Sarah Breslin
Violinist
Andy Soucy
Londonderry High School
How long has Sarah been involved with music?
Where did you receive your training?
How much attention do music departments receive in schools?
Andy, from looking at the tape of your band, you obviously enjoy your work. What goes through your mind as your working with young musicians?
A recent Harvard University study suggested that music programs don't necessarily enhance academic performance. What value does music have in schools?
That same Harvard study warned that there IS a value, beyond academics, but that many school districts often consider cutting back on arts programs when grades don't improve.
Sarah, what fulfillment do you get from playing music? Could you play something for us?
Sarah - what do you think would happen to school music programs if every administrator played the violin?
In the piece, Sarah's tutor talks about how remarkable it was for Sarah to have developed such skill and passion for the violin. when no one for miles around shared that enthusiasm.
There was a time in many school districts where music education was a part of the curriculum. Everyone chose an instrument to play by the fourth grade. Now music education is done privately. What happens to those who aren't exposed to playing, but only listening to the popular music on MTV?
