I teach beginning band, beginning strings and orchestra to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders in a large urban school district where most of my students are second language learners and part of the free lunch program. These students would never be able to afford to rent instruments and pay for lessons, so our district provides the instruments for our students. There's nothing like seeing the excitement on their faces the first day they get to take a musical instrument home.
