Bank of America & NHMF Bring Music to NH Schools!
For more than 25 years Bank of America and the New Hampshire Music Festival have collaborated to bring exciting music programs into schools in central and southern New Hampshire, with an emphasis on under-served populations. This series gives recognition to the importance of music education as a part of a child's education and presents entertaining, informative and engaging performances by the New England Brass. Held in 30 schools each year in grades K-5, in 2009 11,360 children in elementary schools in Concord, Contoocook, Dover, Exeter, Hampstead, Hanover, Hudson, Londonderry, Manchester, Merrimack, Nashua, Plaistow, Portsmouth, Rochester, Salem and Somersworth took part in the program. |
The Three R's Education Program
The Three R's Program designed for the needs of rural New Hampshire, is based on a program with a proven track record, OMA, Opening Minds Through the Arts in Tucson, AZ. The program has been developed around a body of compelling data which show that music, when properly integrated into school curriculum during the prime window of learning opportunity (birth - age eight) significantly builds the foundation of skills and environment necessary for learning to take place. The Festival holds classes in four elementary and nine pre-school classrooms, reaching more than 400 Lakes Region children weekly. |
