What if there was one activity that could benefit every student in every school across the nation? An activity that could improve grades and scores on standardized testing? An activity that would allow students to form lasting friendships? An activity that would help students become more disciplined and confident. Fortunately, there is such an activity, unfortunately, many schools will not make it a part of their curriculum, due to issues with funding and scheduling. This activity is something that everyone is aware of, but not everyone has a chance to participate in. This activity is music and your gifts help make it possible.
