In October of 2021, the D’Addario Foundation provided a grant to support A Child’s Song’s Musical Experiences for Educational Achievement program (MEEA). Through this program, ACS provides instruction in general music skills as well as individual instruments for students in three schools and one foster care organization with multiple facilities that is also a year-around school.
ACS’s Executive Director, Sandy Taylor shared, “This programming benefits students with every learning style and cognitive ability. Quality music instruction is critical to the development of all students and ensures students will reach their full potential. Music education increases students’ self-awareness, knowledge and skills, self-confidence, social ability, and empathy. Music is a vital bridge to a lifetime of learning. We thank the D’Addario Foundation for their commitment to ensuring music education for our youth.”
