study music?
Below are music advocacy websites:
The International Foundation for Music Research (IFMR) was founded
in 1997 to support scientific research to explore the relationship
between music and physical and emotional wellness, with particular
attention to the elderly population, the impact of music making
on at-risk youth, and music education and the effect of music and
music making. IFMR also convenes scientists, educators and others
around critical issues in music research and disseminates research
through its publication, IFMR News, and various on-line research
referral services and archives.
The American Music Conference is a national non-profit educational
association founded in 1947. AMC is dedicated to promoting the importance

that enjoys and makes its own music.
The mission of The National Association for Music Education is

music by all.

making to society and supports the professionalism of music teachers.
