Mission Statement
    The Margaret Brent Elementary School Orchestra Program aims to teach music and various instruments to underprivileged elementary students attending Margaret Brent elementary School. Our goal is to increase the children's appreciation of music, allow them to independently read music, and to teach the basic skills of an instrument such as the violin, flute, or clarinet. Due to a lack of monetary funds at Margaret Brent Elementary School and the environment the children live in, their elementary the children live in, their education lacks any instruction in music and other arts. Out close proximity and knowledge in music allows us to fill this gap and give them an opportunity to explore music. We do this by meeting with the children once a week and teach them music theory and how to play an instrument of their choosing. We progress at the pace of the children, but we do expect them to practice on their own during the week by loaning them the instruments. through lots of effort each week and our enthusiasm for music, we are able to motivate the students to become young musicians and inspire and interest in them to continue learning music in the future.
