String Quartet

It was fun working with the music class of Hartman Middle school. The kids took to the new musical instruments right away. The young man on the bass was so proud he kept spinning it around with style as he practiced. and, they improved greatly under the direction of teacher Marcia Sadberry.

Principal Joseph Addison, who sang with opera great Pavarotti, emphasized the importance of music in education. Kids get better grades, have more discipline, and confidence.

The American Music Conference said that in Texas, a study of average SAT scores for music students for 8 years showed that kids in programs such as a string quartet scored higher than the national average.  Not Bad.

And, If your child's school doesn't have a band and needs musical instruments there are foundations the school can apply to for grants such as the VH1 Foundation 'Save the Music"
