There's some of that focus on testing here as well, but my impression is that there's a will to allocate money towards all sorts of new efforts. Our school has 3D printers, green screen, all sorts of programmable robots and such, in a push to teach even young students more about how technology works.
Although the only money I know for sure went towards music at the school recently was when they got a whole bunch of ukuleles. But the kids are sitting everywhere playing those things some days, so it seems a success.
Some areas definitely get more funding than others, but then again, how much money do you even need to sink into music when you already have all sorts of instruments and electronics.
