Enriching our
Children's Lives
- Being
in a music group helps develop self-discipline and helps students
learn self-esteem.
- Might
the next Yo-Yo Ma be among us? Most professional musicians began their
music study in the public schools.
- Ransom
Wilson, internationally known flute virtuoso, began learning an
instrument at Verner School.
- Playing
an instrument builds an interest in music that carries over throughout
life as an amateur or informed listener.
- Students
who play string instruments are high achievers.
Making our schools
stronger
- Only
17% of our TCS children take music in middle school and high school.
String classes will expand opportunities and reach more students.
- Tuscaloosa
City Schools will become more competitive and a magnet for new
students through an expanded musical curriculum.
Enriching Our
Community
- When
making location decisions, industries carefully assess the quality of
city schools.
- A
comprehensive music program for all children is a significant factor,
and string programs are held in high regard.
- Young
musicians will bring their families to community concerts, building
new audiences for live music in Tuscaloosa.
- String
teachers enrich their communities--performing in chamber groups,
playing for church worship, weddings, and social events.
