Great article on benefits of music education.  A little dated but still relevant.  If you are doing your research on the benefits of music education use this article!

Jeannine, Thanks for sharing these sources. These are great. I'm even going to "borrow" this source for my action research.

Thanh, you're most welcome. If anyone else has any to share, it would be greatly appreciated. I seem to be having difficulty finding research for th elementary level. Thanks!

Jeanine, what is you AR focus area? Are you looking for How technology can motivate elementary general music students?

Having trouble finding peered reviewed articles through EBSCOhost? This is a list of open access Music Journals through the University of Michigan.  It includes a brief description, how often it publishes and if it's peer reviewed.

Hi Thanh, There is an actual box you can click on the sidebar when you start searching that allows you to choose peer reviewed articles. Also, if you check out my page, you'll find links to articles I've found. Are you a member of MENC? Try going that way to SAGE Publications. As an MENC member, you have free access to the publications you signed up for in your membership request. Hope this helps.

Hey Thanh, Great link to "Music Education Benefits." I Have bookmarked the YouTube video and will use it for discussion in some of my presentations in support of Music Education. Thanks again! Marty EMDTMS Student, Full Sail University
