FUND FOR THE FUTURE: FAITES DE LA MUSIQUE

Music united us, on March 25th as we celebrated and enjoyed music; our goals are for LFSF students to discover and make music. Through the music program, we want music to be a meaningful part of student's life now and for the future.

Why is music education so important?

There are almost as many reasons to learn music as there are types of music to love. Musical training helps develop language, reasoning, and memory. Practicing with musical instruments increases coordination. Through music, children learn teamwork. Learning to play pieces of music gives a sense of achievement and builds confidence. It can teach discipline and be relaxing. Music builds imagination and intellectual curiosity.

At the Auction Gala Fête de la Musique, each time guests raised their bidding number, they helped

Purchase instruments
Equip the music rooms with storage and sound systems
Offer more classes: Youth Ensemble, Music Composition, Musique et Paroles
Support Choirs on all campuses
Underwrite Student Performances such as musicals, bands, and band touring
Expand AES musical extracurricular activities
Take students to shows

Fund for the future is a thematic, actionable fundraising initiative that directly impacts student experience and is implemented over the course of several years.
