Here in El Paso,TX all three major school districts have musical programs fully implemented beginning at the elementary level all the way to high school. About 10 years ago all these districts built fine arts buildings where dance, guitar, piano, jazz,, choir, band, art and orchestra are taught.
In addition, most high schools have a Mariachi band. Not bad for a city that is 525 miles from Austin,TX. In a state where most education money is spent on Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio.
