Music Angels are businesses or individuals
who believe strongly in instrumental music education for all.
By becoming a Music Angel, you make it possible for instrumental
music instruction to be available to those students who might
otherwise not have the opportunity. Some organizations help by
making a tax-deductible donation. Other help by donating instruments
that are no longer being used. Either way, we would appreciate
your help.

Music Angels Criteria for Participation:
Children who wish to qualify for the Music
Angles program must have a strong desire to learn how to play a band
or string instrument. Playing an instrument requires students to
practice everyday in order to become proficient. They must also
participate in the free and/or reduced lunch program (exceptions
will be made on an individual basis based on need and extenuating
circumstances)
The first step is
to fill out an "interest form" which you can find on this web-page.
The form must be returned to Peggy Cioce (see above
address). Forms will be date stamped upon recent as the
program runs on a first come first serve basis.
You
will be notified if and when your child's chosen instrument becomes
available.
There is a $25.00
yearly charge to use an school owned instrument. This charge may
increase from year to year. Parents must sign a contract stating
that they will be responsible for repairs and payments for the full
value of the instrument should it be lost or stolen.
