Benefitting Project and Organization
Highline Music4Life is a program to benefit elementary (fourth and fifth grade students) in Highline Public Schools. The program is a collaboration between Highline Public Schools, the Rotary Club of Des Moines and many individuals and businesses, partnering to expand music education for all children in the Highline School District.
Music means different things to different people. To children, learning to play a musical instrument is a meaningful activity - it's fun and it builds relationships that can last a life time. To youth, music opens up the world - its history and its many cultures - and provides opportunities for teamwork and meaningful forms of self-expression. Educators know that music benefits students academically, especially in mathematics, science, history and world languages. Our community understands that music education helps a person lead a richer, fuller, more meaningful life - and an arts-rich community is a more desirable place to live.
Highline Music4Life is intended to give every student in the Highline Public Schools access to instruments in good working conditions so they can participate in instrumental and vocal music programs. Initially, Music4Life will acquire 500 musical instruments and supplies to ensure that 50 percent of Highline Public Schools 4th and 5th grade students can participate in instrumental music. In the years to come, Highline Music4Life may expand to include a broader range of ages and grade levels, as well as additional music education programs.
