THANKS: Gift of music

A HUGE thank you to the Coeur d’Alene Tribe for donating the funds to purchase a piano lab for the music program at Ramsey Magnet School of Science. As a result, all 722 kindergarten through fifth-grade students will receive piano lessons twice per month during school hours. It has been remarkable observing students independently learning piano skills and leaving the music room engaged and enthusiastic about what they have been learning! Students are so excited, they are requesting permission to come into the music room during recesses to brush up on their skills to move to the next lesson!

The piano lab has also provided opportunities for higher quality, small group instruction on other instruments simultaneously. I could not do what I do without the support of the community. I owe the deepest thanks to the Coeur d’Alene Tribe for their support of music education in our schools.
