Music Needs Your Help!

Dear music parents,

As you know, there is a lot to building a music program. Amanda Negrete works endless days, working to coordinate lots of moving parts. In the past we have had a dedicated group of parents step up to volunteer their time to help her. Unfortunately, due to children graduating and moving out of our middle school music program, we are in need of a new group of parents to help. The primary needs are setting up a group of parent leaders to start planning for next year's. This year we are asking ALL Taylor music parents to commit to help in some way. As the saying goes, "many hands make light work."

Please email us using the button belowto let us know you are interested in helping. We will send you more information and happily welcome you to our team. We'll explain all the tasks we need to get covered in order to ensure that we can provide a great year to our music students.



Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Musically,
Taylor Music parents
