It's not necessarily the case that music programs are being cut, but students are not participating as much because the increased requirements in math and science for graduation make it difficult or impossible for them to take music classes. This, along with other factors, was the case with both of my daughters who went/go to a school with strong programs in band, strings, and vocal music. It's much harder to get an exemption from PE here than it is to drop music--although marching band will get you out of it in the fall semesters.
