The Rhode Island House of Representatives has introduced a resolution to proclaim March 2025 as "Music in Our Schools Month." This initiative aligns with the National Association for Music Education's designation of March as a time to celebrate music education in schools. The resolution highlights the historical significance of music in human culture and its therapeutic benefits, emphasizing that participation in music programs can enhance student engagement and lead to improved social and academic outcomes, particularly for at-risk students.

The resolution asserts that music education fosters creativity, self-expression, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, making it an essential component of a well-rounded education. By passing this resolution, the Rhode Island House expresses its support for music education in public schools and acknowledges the dedication of music educators throughout the state. A certified copy of the resolution will be sent to the Rhode Island Music Education Association to formalize this recognition.

Introduced by Representatives Noret, Shekarchi, Blazejewski, Chippendale, and Kennedy, the resolution was introduced on March 11 and has been read and passed in the House.
