The fact that a footwear company promotes music education speaks volumes.
Two seemingly unrelated topics are linked because the lovely people at Pediped want the future to be a bright one, and they understand that instilling music into the lives of people around the world is a great way to do that. A footwear company donated $15,000 to support music education; they proved that you don't have to be a well-trained musician to care about music and support music education in schools and in the community.
I think it is important to find news about topics you are passionate about. Since music education happens to be the topic of this blog, I put a discreet widget at the very bottom of the blog; it's not in the way or distracting, but it's always there when you want news about music education.
