Introductory Paragraph to Annotated Bibliography

Dad, what is that piece of wood? Why does it have strings on it? Well son, I’m not quite sure. Our music programs are at a decline in schools, especially specialized programs such as orchestras (and aren’t there other specialized music programs also being cut- note those, too). Due to funding cuts, individuals with performance skills are becoming more and more rare. Only children who can afford private lessons now have the chance to explore music in a professional setting. Although, if we were to introduce more kids to music through school they might have better lives as music education benefits the mental development of children.
