Malverne Named Top District for Music

The Malverne School District has been selected as one of the Best Communities for Music Education in America for 2015 for the second consecutive year.

This designation was given to 388 districts nationwide and only 110 across New York State by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation, which helped to put together a survey that was completed by thousands of districts across the country. The districts were measured across curricular and programmatic criteria, as well as through public support of their music programs, and only the top-rated districts were chosen.

Participants in the survey answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirements, music class participation, course offerings, extra and co-curricular opportunities, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and other relevant factors in their communities’ music education programs.
