Santa Barbara Unified School District Honored for Music Education

For the fifth year in a row, Santa Barbara Unified School District has been recognized for its music education by the National Association of Music Merchants and been designated “Best Communities for Music Education.” “Santa Barbara Unified School District’s strong commitment to music education is evident in the depth of programming available to students from kindergarten through 12th grade,” said Coordinator of Special Programs Kim Hoj. Just two years of music education has been shown to improve cognitive and social skills in children.
