ACHIEVING POSITIVE IMPACT THROUGH THE MUSICAL MESSAGE OF PUBLIC AWARENESS: "I CREATE, WHEN I RESONATE" WAS DELIVERED TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TO INSPIRE THE VETO OF BILL AB 2446 scroll DOWN to read the full story and CLICK to download PRESS RELEASE >>>
Ms. Rozalina Gutman ( www.CHARISMAfoundation.org ) and Ms. Crystal Olson, prof. of music/arts education at CSUS and the veteran of the CA movement for the advocacy for music/arts education, petitioned in person Governor of CA Arnold Schwarzenegger to VETO the Bill AB 2446 (furutani) that aimed to devastate whatever little was left of music/arts education for 6 million of children in public schools of CA.They delivered the message about neuro-science research, providing the evidence for immense benefits of music/arts education (particularly for growing brain of a child), in a form of a t-shirt (popular type of clothes among school teachers) and the brand new song "I CREATE, WHEN I RESONATE" (by Ms. Rozalina Gutman), recently composed to be heard personally by the CA Governor and the First Lady Maria Shriver. It was recorded by the talented singer Vernon Bush (the soloist of Glide Memorial Church Gospel Choir) on 09.29.10. and delivered just in time to meet the veto’s deadline.(Also, the abstracts from recently organized by R. Gutman Int’l Symposium on the same subject, part of 29th World Conference of ISME, Beijing, 2010 were attached, citing specific studies and referring to the opinions of renown scholars from various countries.) Governor Schwarzenegger responded by showing his true leadership and his insightful abilities to evaluate the data, by resonating to the message and terminating this dubious bill, that could have effected the brain development of the entire generation of current students and the generations of their children. (Bill AB 2446 (furutani) shamelessly claimed the most unbelievable: cutting music/arts education would “help” high school students graduating with HS diploma, among other irrelevant excuses.How could CA legislators get away with such most outrageously strange educational reform attempt, trying to pass it repeatedly while with variations year after year?)
