Romicks’ "Totally Tuned In," he discusses his idea of creating an alternative way of teaching in way of merging English standards and music. In the beginning of his writing, he tells a personal anecdotes of the first time his 8th grade teacher introduced him to the idea of music incorporated in learning. The way he describes the connection is almost as though a light bulb went off in his head, because for the first time he really understood. Romick then goes on to describe how since then, he has grown up to be a high school English teacher, and incorporates music weekly with the

Rayment (2007) argues that assessment within the arts can be challenging because children bring their own personal perspective and experience. The answer to assessment is not straightforward as there are factors including the type of activity and personal perspective. I want the class to have sketchbooks, Edwards (2013) says that ‘sketchbooks can be a vital source of assessment information’, because sketchbooks are personal thinking and development records. However, Croft et al (2001) say that the routine and structure of schooling can diminish imagination and many children do not regain the ability of being imaginative.

The arts are an essential part of a well-rounded education, however, when an institute begins a budgeting process, the arts are rarely considered a top priority. For example, during periods of recession many public schools within the United Stated were forced to cut visual, performing and musical arts programs, despite studies that proved the exposure to the arts to be beneficial for students both academically and in extracurricular activities.
