Abstract	To determine facts and opinions concerning the status of music in all Ohio schools (public and private), questionnaires were sent to the 4,389 K-12 teachers listed in the 1981 Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) Directory and survey instruments were mailed to superintendents of each of Ohio's 614 school districts. Approximately 47.5% of the teachers and 49% of the superintendents responded. Conclusions are that: (1) a relatively small proportion of teacher music positions have been lost during the past several years; (2) quality of music programs was generally high for teachers and administrators, (3) nearly 90% of the teachers found music to be a fulfilling profession, and (4) student interest, attitude, and achievement are the most encouraging aspects of the profession for 40% of the teachers. Respondents also believed that school districts have failed to provide adequate funding for music programs. One fourth of the teachers think the OMEA should become a political force and lobby the legislature for money. The questionnaire and survey instrument are provided in the appendices. (RM)
