Each year Viva Musica accepts applications from schools across the state of Minnesota for our annual grant. This year, we will be donating the funds to Pine Hill Elementary School in Cottage Grove, MN.
They have asked for a Yamaha portable grand piano. It is an electronic keyboard for everyday classroom music education and will also be used in school performances. The piano has different settings that give Pine Hill Elementary students access to 503 instruments (with more available on-line that can be downloaded using the USB port.) 88 of those settings are authentic samplings of percussion instruments that can be played by students in classroom rhythm ensembles as young as Kindergarten.
“I have found that a quality keyboard is essential to my teaching… Consistent use of the keyboard quickly and strongly develops all students’ ability to confidently sing in tune, which is a skill necessary for a future lifetime of participation in many types of music.” -Mr. Sandberg
We will be holding a fundraising concert in January to raise funds for their new piano!
Thank you all the schools that applied for the 2010 Viva Musica Grant! Please apply again next year!
