During the last week of March, I was able to celebrate Music In Our Schools month with several classes throughout my alma mater, El Dorado Springs. I visited 12 classrooms throughout the high school, middle school, and elementary that day with the help of a few special guests. Three gentlemen that are currently members of musical ensembles at our high school traveled to the classrooms with me to spread the message that "Music Is Important to Our Education". Each of us shared our most memorable moments and our current endeavors in music, as well as how music has improved our lives. We were also able to share some of our talents with the students. We brought plenty of contrast from Jacob's rendition of a Taylor Swift song with the acoustic guitar to a little bit of opera and Norah Jones from me. We had a blast and felt that our message was spread. Music IS an integral part of a balanced education.
