Abstract	This essay traces the development of music in the public school curriculum and focuses on the Goals 2000 emphasis on music in life. Music has been a part of the high school curriculum since the Boston school system accepted it in 1838. While music education for much of this century has had difficulties defining itself and its role in the curriculum, Goals 2000 validates music education as a major part of the life of the U.S. community. Music teachers now can explore the potential of involving students in unprecedented opportunities for musical growth and human development. Essay topics include: (1) the community connection; (2) the emerging gap; (3) a new justification; (4) on the threshold; (5) entering the mainstream; (6) the emerging curriculum; and (7) embracing the future.
