Donate Your Instruments and More!

Thank You David Hay Family

No....we're not going to watch a soccer match though there will be one going on the day we arrive!  CMF is honored to be invited to present our research findings to the Early Childhood Commission of the International Society for Music Education (ISME) in Brazil next week.

The Early Childhood Commission of ISME was founded in 1982 with the following vision:

"To share and to promote current ideas in early childhood music education which relate to research and to teaching, to assure every child's right to become musically responsive and thereby to enhance the quality of children's lives."

The intent of this Commission is to further the quality of research and scholarship in the field of early childhood music education and, through that, to stimulate thought and the practice of music in early childhood throughout the world.

Teach for America to offer First Note 

Children's Music Foundation is excited to announce our collaboration with Teach For America (TFA) to make high quality music programming available to TFA corps members and alumni.

These teachers work in high-need communities across the country to ensure all students receive an excellent education - which includes arts exposure. Access to CMF resources is one tool to help TFA teachers create holistic learning experiences in their classrooms.

 

 

 CMF receives gift of Spanish Music

   

Cristina Abaroa has generously donated all of the songs from her children's CD titled Chapis to be enjoyed and even downloaded for subscribers and purchasers of the First Note music program. Cristina has worked on projects with such greats as Plácido Domingo, Lady Gaga, Barry Manilow, Luis Miguel, Mijares, Celine Dion, Ricky Martin, Enrique, Julio Iglesias Jr., among others. This gift comes at an important time as many of our schools, clubs and daycare centers have increasing numbers of Hispanic students, and we've been receiving requests for sing-along music such as this. The songs will be up on the CMF website in time for the 2014-2015 school year. Muchas gracias, Cristina!
