Review for Childrens Music Foundation Inc, Kirkland, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Children's Music Foundation has pioneered an experiential curriculum for kindergarten and first-grade teachers to engage their students in musical lessons, appreciation, and creation. CMF's approach builds from the pedagogical and neurological research that shows the connection between musical ability & appreciation, self-discipline, goal-setting, and mathematical aptitude and educational achievement as children move through grade school and beyond. It's an exciting and low-cost way to fuel the imaginations of kids and teachers and is helping transform classrooms into places where "creative juices" are nutured.

Try to spread its message and approach nationally more quickly than we've so far been able to do.

Role:  Volunteer & I serve on the Board of the Children's Music Foundation and am inspired by its efficacy.
