CCSD Honored for the “Best Communities for Music Education” CCSD Honored for the “Best Communities for Music Education”: Chittenango is once again honored to be named a “Best Community for Music Education” by the NAMM Foundation.  Recipients of this award must be able to show community and school support, as well as student involvement and musical achievement.   Research into music education continues to demonstrate educational/cognitive and social skill benefits for children who make music.
