It meant interested students were left on the sidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This fall, nobody was sidelined.<\/p>\n<h3>Music as Mental Health Support, Not a Luxury<\/h3>\n<p>The joy unfolding at Albright echoes what Canadians say they value most about music in schools. According to the MusiCounts-Harris Poll survey, nearly two-thirds (60%) of Canadians believe that actively making music has a greater impact on mental well-being than listening to it. Over half (56%) associate music education directly with improved mental health, a finding increasingly relevant in communities where students may not have access to formal counselling services.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border ad__section-border--story article-content__ad-group ad_counter_4\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment3109741357823602162236107637391360\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 4<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-4\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90],[300,250]]\" data-ad-loc=\"4\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[320,50],[300,50],[300,250]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-4\" style=\"--desktopheight:250px;--mobileheight:250px\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--story\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic classrooms are the beating heart of any school,\u201d said Kristy Fletcher, President of MusiCounts. \u201cWhen students build connections and express themselves through music, we\u2019re giving them tools to thrive both in and outside the classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Need Is Growing and Outpaces Support<\/h3>\n<p>While the survey highlights Canadians\u2019 overwhelming support for music education, it also exposes how precarious programs are nationwide.
