Making a Case: Arts Education Fundamental, Not Ornamental


The essential skill set for true Guruability, involves the ability to make your case, to deliver poignant, lucid thoughts in an effective manner.

Best-selling author Dan Pink is clearly in this class.

Here, he discusses why right-brain thinking is required in today's workplace and how arts education fulfills this need.
This keynote is being shared by the Texas Music Educators Association and NAMM, the International Music Products Association. We thank Dan Pink for allowing us to distribute his speech.

Not a bad idea, to also sign up to support arts education in Texas at GoArts.org.
