ARTS IN EDUCATION
Friends of Music encourages and supports music education in our schools. We appreciate the opportunity to augment the school curriculum by taking musical assemblies to our area elementary schools. We have six area elementary schools and we present assemblies on a rotation basis, serving 3 schools per year as the budget permits.
Our Arts In Education program is funded through the sale of tickets for raffle prizes at each of our seven free concerts. Traditionally we have three donated prizes at each concert. Three winners are drawn and have their choice of prizes, first called chooses first, etc.
We’ve employed a small musical theater group from Phoenix whose programs are not only educational but also humorous and engaging to the students. It brings us such joy to see the students enjoy the antics of the characters based on the Three Little Pigs, or Peter and the Wolf or other classics from children’s literature, told with music and humor.
