CMF Attends NAMM |
CMF had the privilige of attending the 2010 NAMM* Show held in Anaheim last month. There were more than 1500 exhibits and several artists in attendance such as Kenny G (pictured), Lee Ritenour, Carlos Santana, and many others, offering their support for music. We found some interesting products and established many new relationships at this event!
*Founded in 1901, NAMM has been the engine driving the music products industry, With more than 9,000 Members in the United States and 100+ other countries, NAMM is ultimately dedicated to expanding the market and giving people of all ages the opportunity to experience the proven benefits of making music.

What teachers are saying about First Note...
"I can do this and fit this into my day....the lessons are only 15-20 minutes." K-teacher, New York
"Students love the movement and were thrilled to have permission to wiggle!" K-teacher, Washington State
"We love the Music Man, he is friendly and engaging! "
"I love the Calm Body, what a wonderful way to calm down, works great for large groups" Music Specialist, Georgia
From our Program Director Paulette Evans
It's always great hearing first hand from our participating teachers and students. They are sharing what they enjoyed and what they want to see changed about the program. This information is then shared with the First Note team headed by UW Music Staff who are currently writing our 30-lesson full year pilot.
Music has direct and long term affects on children and sometimes we are lucky enough to witness this. One of our Washington teachers recently commented on how engaged her students were during their handwriting lesson directly after their music lesson, stating, "It's the best use of fine motor skills that I have seen this year."
We are thrilled to see how First Note is working in the classroom and the impact it has on our young learners!
