Fund-raising  is an absolute essential part of our program.  We must fund-raise for partial instruction, performance facilities, publications, instruments and maintenance, professional fees, teacher training, music and curriculum, sound systems and other equipment to be housed in each school, and other activity related costs.  Please be aware that this program helps our students and many more in so many aspects of their education.  We cannot emphasize enough how important this program is and how much we need your help in fund-raising!
