Why Teach Music

Ms. Wormann has participated through an Early Childhood music program called "Music Together." Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program which believes that "All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning."

Finally Ms. Wormann recently received a professional development grant from NEA to enter the Musician Leadership Program for one year with the organization"Music For People." Music for People is a not for profit organization that seeks to promote a humanistic approach to the way music is taught, performed, and appreciated. Music for People also strives to act as a catalyst in gathering people together to play and sing by creating safe environments in which they can explore music improvisation.
