PiE’s funding makes a significant difference in our school by allowing us to offer a well-rounded education, and their support helps ensure that all students have consistent access to high-quality materials and enriching experiences that foster creativity, collaboration, and self-expression. This funding not only enhances academic learning but also helps students develop confidence and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

The most rewarding part of my job is making music with my students and witnessing their joy as they explore, create, and grow. It’s especially meaningful to see their excitement when we play instruments together and they recognize their own progress and accomplishments.
