I have had the good fortune in my career to work with some really great thinkers over the years regarding music and arts education and the role these programs play in our society. So I was thrilled when the Education Commission of the States asked me to do an interview with my favorite thinker, Sir Ken Robinson, as part of the Arts in Education of Governor Mike Huckabee and even more thrilled that ECS has allowed us to share this interview with you!
Sir Ken's work in the area of creativity and the arts has captured the attention of world leaders. His thoughts in this interview are well worth considering as we all fight to make the case for the value of music and arts in our schools. Let us know what you think!
