[IAEP] Music education and textbooks

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Valerie,
If you can give me a little bit more info I can probably point you in the direction of some useful resources.  How many students are we talking about?  How many minutes per week are devoted to music? How is it delivered... i.e.  how many days a week will they have music?Is there any budget at all? What city are you in? What is your nearest large city or university? What are the ethnic backgrounds of the students?  Is the school a part of a school district? If so, which one?Is the music teacher fluent enough in Spanish to read resources about using TamTam  and listen to Video demos of lessons using TamTam?
I have family visiting this week so it may take a time to get it all together, but I will see if I can come up with a variety of options for you and your music teacher. Hopefully we can include Tam Tam.

The new charter school I'm working with doesn't have $15,000 for the

K-8 music textbooks the music teacher requested. Here is a great

opportunity for ebooks if they are available.



I would appreciate any suggestions, links, resources.



You might want to reach out to Music Unites,

http://www.musicunites.org/

"Music Unites, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is dedicated to bringing music 
education to underprivileged children in underfunded inner city school 
systems. "

There could be an alignment of interests and an opportunity to collaborate there.
