Concerns Affecting the Industry
Music Education Funding
Federal investments in arts and music education help ensure that students across all communities have access to music programs and instruments. Continued support for Title I, Title II, Title IV-A, and the National Endowment for the Arts is critical for preserving music access nationwide.
Tariff Impact on Music Products
Recent tariff increases on imported musical products, components, and raw materials have significantly increased costs for American music businesses. These added costs affect:
-
Product affordability
-
School purchasing budgets
-
Small and medium-sized businesses
-
Musicians and consumers
-
Supply chain stability
We support targeted tariff relief and exemptions for music products and related components to help preserve affordability, jobs, and industry growth.
