[Lehman, Paul R., The power of the national standards in music education, MENC, pp.3-9]


     In this article, Lehman talks about the "pros" of the national standards here in music education. He also talks about each standard "in depth" and helps the "common day reader" understand each of the standards in case they become confused. 
     I personally have no connections to the standards except from my Mom planning her lessons around them back when she could teach.
     I could definitely see myself using this article if I ever became a mentor for a first year teacher that didn't necessarily understand the national standards. I agree with his opinion of the national standards as well. He tends to share the same opinions I have.
