Recent music education budget cuts have deprived children of the opportunity to play and learn about music in school. According to a recent National Assessment of Educational Progress, only 25% of eighth graders nationwide had the opportunity to take music class. In light of this, Ban antiperspirant/deodorant has teamed up with Maverick Recording Artist Lillix, themusicedge.com and Teen People Magazine to ban the elimination of music in schools.
Lillix knows about the importance of keeping music alive in schools. As students in elementary school, the three original members learned how to play instruments, with the help of their music teachers.
Lillix understands that music in schools provides a platform for students to share their thoughts and has teamed up with sponsors Ban antiperspirant/deodorant, themusicedge.com and Teen People Magazine to host an auction on eBay.com to raise awareness about keeping music alive in schools. Lillix and other musicians will sign bandanas and additional items that will be auctioned off with proceeds going to themusicedge.com to help support music programs in schools.
To take part in this auction, log onto http://ebay.com/ban from September 1st to September 10th and make your bid.
If winning a bandana isn't enough, log onto themusicedge.com until September 30th and tell us why you want to Ban the Elimination of Music Education in Schools. Your essay will enter you to win a music lesson with Lillix at your school.
