Music Angels Information
-
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. Others help by donating instruments that are no longer being used. Either way, we would appreciate your help.
If you are interested in becoming a Music Angel, please contact:

973-594-4199Music Angels Criteria for Participation:
Children who wish to qualify for the Music Angels program must have a strong desire to learn how to play a band or string instrument. Playing an instrument requires students to practice every day 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 your child's instrumental music teacher. Forms will be date stamped upon receipt 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 a 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.
