  WHEREAS,  It  is the sense of this Legislative Body, in keeping with
its time-honored traditions, to recognize and pay tribute to  those  who
seek to preserve and celebrate the musical education and heritage of our
State and Nation; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to

Our  Schools Month, in conjunction with the observance of National Music
in Our Schools Month; and

  WHEREAS,  Music  In  Our  Schools  Month  (MIOSM)  is  the  National
Association  for Music Education's Annual Celebration during March which
engages music educators,  students,  and  communities  from  around  the
country  in  promoting  the  benefits  of  high  quality music education
programs in schools; and

  WHEREAS, This national month of music will be celebrating  its  48th
Annual Music in Our Schools Month; and

  WHEREAS,  Music  in  Our  Schools  Month  began  in 1973 as a single
statewide Advocacy Day and celebration in New York, and has since  grown
to become a month-long celebration of school music; and

  WHEREAS,  Each  year  during  this  month,  students from across the
country perform various concerts in state  legislatures,  concert  halls
and schools to showcase the musical talent of America's youth; and

  WHEREAS,  Music  has  been  a  part  of  human history since mankind
discovered its love for this beautiful and cherished  art  form;  it  is
events  such  as Music in Our Schools Month that allow music to continue
to progress and evolve; and

  WHEREAS, Furthermore, the support of music education in our nation's
schools is of utmost importance in continuing the development of musical
talent in New York and the United States; and

  WHEREAS, Events which provide  a  means  of  preserving  a  part  of
America's rich past and which contribute to the musical education of our
great  State  and  Nation,  are  held  in  the  highest  regard  by this
Legislative Body; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim March 2021, as Music in
Our  Schools Month, in conjunction with the observance of National Music
in Our Schools Month; and be it further
