Although funding for arts education continues to decline in America's school districts, the Dallas-based company Music in Motion strives to keep music (and love for music) in schools.
Music in Motion is a music education and gift catalog. Music teacher Mary Ann Stewart founded the company in 1976, from her garage, as a mail-order resource for music and movement teachers and for musicians.
Music in Motion gives out a "Butterfly Award," which is a program designed to encourage schools and organizations "to develop exceptional music programs which help transform the lives of children or adults with special needs."
Music in Motion has more than 5,000 music education products distributed worldwide. The wide range of products includes games, books, videos, "ethnic" instruments, classroom instruments, software and gifts.
According to Ms. Stewart,
"Music is essential to every child's development -- physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Music transcends all barriers of culture, language, and race. My hope is that Music in Motion will inspire parents, teachers, and students to recognize the power of music to transform lives."

Welcome to For Children's Sake
Greetings. Welcome to For Children's Sake. It is my hope that For Children's Sake will become your favorite online haunt for parenting news and views, craft ideas, community, and more. Humor, parenting tips (and questions of my own), book and product reviews, and mommy musing (I'll try to keep it to a minimum...we ALL have cute kids!) will be standard fare.
I have included some fun and helpful features, as well. Just for fun, you will be treated to a weekly poll. There is a list of links that like-minded parents might enjoy. I have included a newsreel, as well, which will direct you to the top articles related to children, infants, and parenting, for the day.
The Recommended Children’s Authors list will be constantly expanding. Seriously, blink and it will get longer. I am not quite that efficient, but you get the idea!
Comments are open to all, but you will be required to enter a code to leave your message. I have done this to prevent readers from having to sort through spam while trying to participate in discussions. Any comments that don't add to the discussion but are being posted solely as a means to sell something will be deleted. I realize it is a slight inconvenience, but typing a few extra letters will be less of a pain in your neck than sorting through countless inappropriate ads.
I will, on occasion, post information about freebies or offer prizes or gifts to readers. Unless otherwise stated, I have no link to the companies, authors, products, or books mentioned. All it means is that I got my hands on some good loot or found a deal and am spreading the wealth.
Once again, welcome to For Children’s Sake. Thank you for visiting, and come again soon!
