Advocating for Music Education
NAAWS advocates for promoting music education. Learning to play an instrument stimulates the brain, improving functions like memory and abstract reasoning skills, which are essential for maths and science.
It also builds skills in leadership and team-building, as well as showing you the rewards of working with others.
Advocating for Minorities in Instrumental Music
African-Americans musicians are underrepresented in formal ensembles. Between 1980 to 2014, musician diversity saw substantial growth in numbers, however African-American and Hispanic/Latino musicians remained extremely low.
