A powerful TED Talk on the power of music instruction for our children. Our district’s music program has been battered by budget cuts and is now largely funded by donations made to the RCEF.

This year the goal of the Save Our School Music Campaign is to raise $150,000 by July 31, 2011 to fund Instrumental Music for the 2011/12 school year. The school district has already given termination notices to 2 of the 3 music teachers, effectively cutting the program for next year.  Please donate what you can and/or attend Groovin’ in the Grove on May 27 at Woodside High School.  For more information or to donate to the cause, go to www.rcef.org
