| Texas’ Largest Fine Arts Education Coalition The Member Organizations of the TCQAE work in concert to serve as a common voice for the advancement of quality fine arts (music, art, theatre, and dance) education for all students in Texas by: • articulating the importance of student learning in the fine arts disciplines; and • communicating proven standards for quality arts programs in our schools. _________________________________________________________________________ |
| Welcome to the TCQAE Website “…the arts have been an inseparable part of the human journey; indeed, we depend on the arts to carry us toward the fullness of our humanity. We value them for themselves, and because we do, we believe knowing and practicing them is fundamental to the healthy development of our children’s minds and spirits. That is why, in any civilization, ours included – the arts are inseparable from the very meaning of the term ‘education.” We know from long experience that no one can claim to be truly education who lacks basic knowledge and skills in the arts.” - -National Standards for Arts Education |
