We recently had the pleasure of attending a First Notes concert at Avon Elementary. An education program of the Vail Valley Foundation, First Notes introduces music to second graders by putting instruments in their hands as part of a pilot after school program. The program strives to prove how the learning process of music in children not only enriches their spiritual and emotional experiences, but also accelerates their learning capacity in other subjects at school, developing and strengthening their ability to relate socially to the fast-paced and competitive world around them.
If you would like to support First Notes we are running a matching gifts campaign this holiday season in conjunction with Alpine Bank. TV8 Vail, Vail Echo, KZYR and the Vail Daily. Your gift to First Notes will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $5K by Alpine Bank.
