The NJMEA believes that the arts constitute one of the five fundamental components of basic education, along with language, mathematics, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. These five fields of study should be at the core of education of every child as outlined in the Standards for Arts Education.
The NJMEA believes that the arts should be an integral part of basic education and that in this context “the arts,” “the fine arts,” and “the visual and performing arts” should all be defined to comprise only music, visual arts, theater, and dance. Courses not focusing on these four arts should not be permitted to satisfy requirements in the arts although they might include “art” in their title.
