Keep music in the schools!


This entertaining and interactive presentation focuses on reasons to keep the arts in our public schools, and gives the audience a chance to experience the challenge of music making first hand.  The presentation challenges often held assumptions and beliefs about the relevancy and importance of music in a school curriculum.  The presentation can be tailored to meet the time constraints of any situation lasting anywhere from fifteen minutes to one hour.  It is based on the presentation given to a district in-service meeting in Des Moines, Iowa that can be found by clicking the tab below.  




This program is offered free of charge to organizations in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois
