The Grammys Award Keith Urban for Music Education

Grammy award winning country artist Keith Urban knows how important music education is, what with fathering two little girls. He's recently been awarded the Recording Artists Coalition Award at the 2017 Grammys on The Hill for his pursuits and efforts with music education programs. 

Urban has told the press, "The opportunity to be bringing attention to music education and music education is wonderful and what tonight is all about. Music needs to be much more seriously considered for the effects it has on kids, that it’s not some sort of frivolous subject that can be discarded so effortlessly." 

Other efforts that artists have been promoting and advocating today on Capitol Hill include performers' rights and equitable royalty practices. Keith Urban attributed his success to his supportive parents and love of music, saying the first time he fell in love was at the age of 6 with his guitar.
