The Sycamore Level
Being a music teacher myself, I'll never turn down extra reasons for people to support music. However, it should be noted that advocating for music because of its benefit to other academic areas (which is measurable, but small) is usually outpaced by just scheduling another class of the same kind. Another math class helps math scores more than music does.
