FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the D'Addario Foundation has launched a new initiative called the Immersive Music Challenge, which aims to raise awareness and funds around a groundbreaking new study that finds intensive music mentoring, especially implemented in lower-income schools, is linked to significantly improved reading and math scores; decreased pandemic related anxiety was also observed. This news is especially pertinent as the shocking revelations of low reading and math scores post-pandemic are seen to have erased progress across the nation as kids go back to school.
Key Points:
- For over forty years, the D'Addario Foundation has helped fund intensive music instruction and mentoring programs in under-resourced communities throughout the country, such as Harmony Project, Guitars Over Guns, Play On Philly and many more.
- Inspired by this new study, the foundation's School Achievement Challenge doubles down on its efforts to bring music mentoring to schools around the country.
- D'Addario's School Achievement Challenge aims to raise funds for national music mentoring implementation and generate awareness of the transformational academic, social and emotional impact of such programs.
- The consistency and the fun of doing music is one of the best things a kid can experience."
