On Capitol Hill, Tobin and Liane Rockley worked to reinforce the importance of a new federal law, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and its inclusion of music education for all children during the National Association of Music Merchants’ (NAMM) Music Education Advocacy D.C. Fly-In from May 23-26, 2016.
“Every child needs music and the arts as part of a well-rounded education, said Liane Rockley. “Arts education gives all children the opportunity for self-expression, stress relief and just plain fun! It is monumental that our Congress was able to put aside their differences and reach across the aisle to get this passed.”
