What is she looking for in the way of ancillary materials? (Did the charter school come through with instruments, etc.?)<br><br>P.S. Singing, sight singing, and parts singing (plus dancing, etc.) is one of the best ways to introduce real music to all children in the earliest grades. The instruments probably should follow in this process rather than being the center of an early music program.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Alan<br></div><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:14pt"><br><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Valerie Taylor <vtaylor@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Thu, July 7, 2011 5:02:16 AM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [IAEP] Music education and textbooks<br></font><br> The new charter school I'm working with doesn't have $15,000 for the<br>K-8 music textbooks the music teacher requested.
