Quality music education is vital to students. Studies have proven that it helps to improve student's academics, health, and social well-being. Students in the Howard County Public School System (HCPSS) have numerous opportunities to participate in music education during their entire school career.
Our advocacy group, Howard County Parents for School Music (HCPSM), strives to promote high quality music education programs in Howard County schools. HCPSM works with music educators, students, and the community to accomplish their goals.
​

HCPSM utilizes parent volunteers in each Howard County Public School to serve as leaders and music advocates in their schools.
