Abstract	Equitable access to a quality music education for all students and healthy music class enrollment continue to be prominent goals for music teachers and advocates. While 92% of Ohio public secondary schools offer at least one music class, fewer than half of all students actually enroll. Past literature on equitable access to and enrollment in music classes offers a complex and conflicting depiction due to scholars either looking at national data sets or individual case studies, but few bounded by a single state. In order to dissect the problem of equitable access and enrollment in secondary music classes for the state of Ohio, we collected data reflecting these variables from online dashboards and analyzed them to find significant differences by locale (city, suburban, town, rural) and whether any equity factor predicted enrollment percentage in a public secondary school. Results reflected inconsistent differences between factors based on locale and found poor relationships between those same factors and a school's music enrollment. Advocates could utilize these results to justify initiatives meant to adapt to individual school contexts as opposed to state or locale-wide solutions to broadly stated music access and enrollment problems.
