Why DONATE to CMF? 
 
Recent budget cuts in education have resulted in a reduction or even a loss of music programs in many of our schools.

First Note offers a cost effective means of providing all K-1 students with a beginning music program that can be facilitated by all classroom teachers and is an aid to music teachers.  
 
Keep music in our schools. Please DONATE to The Children's Music Foundation.

 What kids are saying about First Note:
 Lakeview Elementary 
"This is so fun!" Jackson  age 5 
 
"I liked the wiggle" Noah age 5
 
"I like the Calm Body!" 
 Jordan age 5
 
"The Music Man has good lessons"    Mia age 6
 
I've had  the privilege of visiting these classrooms and seeing the joyful learning that our young students experience firsthand. Watching these 5 and 6 year-olds having fun while learning valuable skills is truly priceless! 
 
Demand for First
Note continues to grow
 
 
Requests for our trial program continue and we just don't have the heart to turn down those principals, teachers and schools that are willing to beta test the program and return constructive feedback to us. First Note will soon be tested in 10 states across the US.
 
We're now beginning to be asked "When will the full program be available?"  We're on track to have the first year full pilot ready for the fall of 2010.

Thanks to our donors
 
None of our progress would be possible without the financial support of the Wissner-Slivka Foundation, our coporate donors, and several private contributors. Thank you all!
