Teacher testimonials
This program is a treasure. It is incredible to have world class musicians come into my classroom during the school day for FREE and provide an educational concert experience for my students. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!— Choir Director, Hopkins
Having a group come into our location helped give these children an experience they would have NEVER gotten. So many of our rural schools are on a very tight budget.— Music Teacher, Holdingford
Thank you! This is an incredible program that is such a gift to our students (and staff!). Our students love music but often have limited access to performances, even in our city full of the arts. We are so grateful that Class Notes is working to bridge that gap. We also appreciate the diverse options of performers so that our students can see themselves mirrored in the musicians they see and hear.— Music Teacher, Minneapolis
