Charles Fowler here argues that studying the arts is an important and valuable component of general education and of society and American culture. Directed toward a broad public audience with the intent of providing parents and other interested citizens with a thorough background about arts education, the author presents a number of different rationales to support the necessity of the arts in general education. Fowler confronts complicated matters of curriculum such as -- who should study the arts? which arts and whose culture should be taught? -- and discusses the varying philosophies amongst arts advocates and educators themselves.

"Mr. Fowler's opus, Strong Arts, Strong Schools, is an erudite and passionate testimonial from a man who made service to arts education his life's work. His words and wisdom inspire us to continue the fight to insure that every child has access to world class instruction in the arts."--Michael Greene, President and CEO, National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, Inc."A compelling case for arts education for every child, Strong Arts, Strong Schools should awaken the business world as well as educators. Charles Fowler reflects on the startling consequences of American education devoid of the arts and presents a realistic reform. This inspiring book encapsulates his impassioned commitment to the arts and to the quality of human life. His legacy to us is a call to action."--Dorothy A. Straub, MENC Past President"Fowler is a superb writer and a convincing one. He is one of the best in the field. The readership of this book will be the zillions of individuals who have worked so hard in recent years to insure that the arts are basic, that arts instruction be evaluated, and that the arts become more visible."--Richard Colwell, New England Conservatory of Music"Charles Fowler's style is readable and interesting, and I particularly like his use of vignettes from real school situations. Fowler convincingly lays out the argument for the need and benefits of strong arts education."--June Hinckley, Arts Education Specialist, Florida Department of Education
