From our Program Director Paulette Evans
"Overall, a very strong program and very "doable" for a classroom teacher" Music Specialist, Ohio
March is the month for winding down our 4-lesson trial program as the feedback pours in from around the country. At this time we have over 1350 children in 12 states participating in our music program. Because of the continued interest, we added three new states; Nebraska, Oregon and Minnesota. We've gathered valuable feedback from our participating teachers and continue to hear how much they like the movement, the music vocabulary, the music man and the special guests from different countries.
 We are also hearing how easy the written portion of the program is to follow. Two of our teachers from New York said how much they appreciated the ease of use, referring to both the DVD and the curriculum book. They also said that , "The class likes the 'calm body.' I use it often when I want the class to settle down."
One of our music specialists from Wahoo, Nebraska said she was excited about the "Word of the Week." She teaches music vocabulary to her older students and has a word wall for them. Now she can make one for her kindergarteners.
Several of our teachers shared that they have continued to use "First Note" program after the 4-lesson demo was finished. The students enjoyed the lessons so much that the teachers have decided to do them over again.
