Declining revenues and budget cuts at Bay Area school districts are endangering music and arts programs. But school officials in some cities are enlisting the help of traditional fine arts organizations to help fill in the gaps. We talk about such collaboration, and explore the role that music plays in a child’s overall education.

Guests:

Michael Morgan, music director and conductor of the Oakland East Bay Symphony

Ron Gallman, director of education programs for the San Francisco Symphony
