Classics Concerts in Schools
|
Classic Concerts present a variety of classical piano, ensemble,
dance and jazz programs which engage and inspire students in
elementary, middle and high schools throughout the Coachella Valley.
For most of the children, these concerts are their first experience
with classical music performance.
The Classics Concerts in Schools is funded by The Community Foundation serving San Bernadino and Riverside Counties, Clint and Dina Eastwood, The Regional Access Foundation, Wells Fargo Bank |
Piano Labs
| Piano Labs target elementary school children in daytime and
after-school programs, we provide pianos, materials and teachers for
group lessons, and keyboards for the children to practice on at home.
The children learn music theory, rhythm, fingering, technique, develop
focus and listening skills. The goal is not only to teach children to
play the piano, but to build a foundation for musicianship throughout
their lives through a combination of discipline, fun and personal
attention.
The Piano Labs program is sponsered by Irene W. and Guy L. Anderson Children's Foundation, Regional Access Foundation, YMCA, ASES Program |
