I teach music to some amazing students in a K-5 Elementary school. You can make a difference in the lives of over 750 children every week! The elementary music program is the only opportunity for many of these children will have to participate in music. Making music together positively affects the learning, attitudes and hearts in a way that no other program or activity can do. Most of our families have no money for music lessons, instruments or music exposure for their children. Your donation will buy xylophones/marimbas so more children get to play music together with others in class, in programs after school and in the summer. Marimbas and xylophone are long term, high return assets. They need little maintenance and no updating. This elementary music program is designed to reach a wide variety of student interests: drum groups, music theater, choir, recorders, folk dancing and now marimba groups. Thanks!
