"Research confirms that music education contributes mightily to the growth and development of students, and is associated with high attendance and graduation rates, high test scores, and even high lifelong earning potential. As with reading, writing and arithmetic, music should be a core academic focus because it is so vital to a well rounded education and will pay dividends later in life, no matter the career path taken. We are pleased to support Steven Van Zandt in the development of his Rock and Roll Forever project as an innovative and exciting way to bring more music -- and more of a music born in America -- to our schools and our children."
– Dr. John Mahlmann, Executive Director, MENC (National Association for Music Education)
