An alarming number of my physics professors played the violin. Exceedingly well.

Good for Superintendent Hernandez! I hope they get a fantastic music program going for all students. Please spread the word that they need funding!

This is great news! Glad to hear that students will be given this opportunity. Please consider the introduction of music education & instruments in 4th grade, expanding to students selecting & learning to play instruments & to sing in 5th and 6th grade, playing, singing and performing throughout middle school and high school.
Good luck and success to all.

Who's been imping my handle and had their comment removed?
This is a great idea, and I hope that it can be sustained. M-A has a good band and a great jazz band.

Who do I contact if I wish to donate an instrument to this program?

Great that this is finally happening at a district level in EPA. The Superintendent should be informed that many providers have given music instruction over the years, including middle school band. But each program lagged due to lack of district support.
Don't miss out
