Manhasset Named One of the Best Communities for Music Education for the Third Year in a Row
Manhasset has once again been named one of the “Best Communities for Music Education in America” for 2010. Arts Administrator Dr. Anthony Ambrogio said: “We are honored to be nationally recognized not only for our outstanding program design and superb instruction provided by our Artist-Teachers, but also for the consistently enthusiastic support our music program enjoys from our community.” This is the third consecutive year the district has been named to the list.
This year's roster represents schools and school districts in 32 states, including 10 districts from Nassau County.
The survey was conducted by the NAMM Foundation in association with Americans for the Arts, League of American Orchestras, The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, The Metropolitan Opera Guild, Music for All, Music Teachers National Association, National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, National PTA, Yamaha Corporation of America, and VH1 Save The Music Foundation.
