My students are energetic 4th graders who LOVE music. They want to sing, dance and play instruments. If they could do all three at the same time, they would still look for more ways to create music. The school population is entirely 3rd and 4th grade. The ensembles offered are Band, Chorus and Strings, but only 4th graders are allowed in Band and Strings. Since Kindergarten, they have learned how to listen to music, and now they want to make their own. Our Band and String programs are growing every year. Lack of funding makes it hard to keep up with maintenance and supplies, but we work through the challenges and are grateful for people like you who understand the importance of music as a part of a child's education.
