“…The performing arts sector includes a range of disciplines (theater, opera, dance, and music) in varying forms (live and recorded), within different types of organizational entities (nonprofit, commercial, and voluntary). Several studies have highlighted the economic (Mitchell ; Singer ), educational (Purnell et al ; Sowden et al ), health and well‐being (Castora‐Binkley et al ; Stuckey and Nobel ), and civic and social (Goldbard ; Grodach ) benefits of arts organizations. Fewer studies have offered empirical evidence specifically for the performing arts.…”

NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ATTRACT MANAGERS and leaders who are inspired by a social cause and seek to make a difference. Passion for a cause is crucial; however, passion alone cannot build and sustain organizations. Long-term success requires knowledge and application of strategic management tools and techniques (Cochran, David, and Gibson 2008 ). In this exploratory study, we focused on an important strategic management tool-the mission statement -and examined whether it matters to nonprofit performance. Drucker ( 1974 ), an influential business strategy thinker, underscored the central role of mission statements in driving organizational strategy and performance. Although nonprofit strategic management scholars acknowledge the salience of a mission statement (for example, Anheier 2005 ; Phills 2005 ), not all nonprofit leaders recognize its strategic value. As a result, attitudes toward mission statements vary. Whereas some consider mission statements to be

“…Drawing construction requires that readers select important information from the reading, organize selected information into visual images in their mind, and represent the visually organized information as sketches (Bhattacharya, 2007). The effectiveness of drawing construction has been validated by several researchers (e.g., Bhattacharya, 2007;Greene, 1989;Purnell, Ali, Begum, & Carter, 2007;Short, Kauffman, & Kahn, 2000;Van Meter, 2001;Whitin, 134 A. Bhattacharya 2002). Student-generated sketches have the potential of improving students' reading comprehension by acting as mnemonic devices for the retrieval of key information stored in memory from prior reading of text.…”

In South Africa, possibilities to utilise music to contribute to the holistic development of preschool learners are under continuous investigation. However, music education in the Grade R classroom is limited due to insufficient time in the daily programme and a lack of sufficient musical training amongst generalist educators. The urgent need to equip these educators with the necessary competencies is critical. Therefore, in this article the practicability of integrating music into the daily programme in Grade R is explored by means of a conceptual framework. This conceptual framework was generated from the literature review and data analysis, describing six aspects of integrating music into Grade R teaching and learning: about music, from music, on music, with music, in music and through music. Within this framework, every aspect of integration is connected with music activities in accordance with the Grade R learning principles of play, exploration and practical experiences. In this article, the author argues that music can be successfully integrated into the Grade R daily programme by music specialists as well as generalist teachers with no or minimal musical training.
