March is Music in our Schools Month

     For forty plus years, March has been officially designated as Music in Our Schools Month by the National Association for Music Education.  It is the time of year when music education becomes the focus of schools across the nation.  It gives music teachers the opportunity to bring their music programs to the attention of the school and community.

     Music is alive in our local schools.  We asked Ms. MaryEllen Kennedy, Instrumental Music Instructor at Springfield Public School, to share some thoughts about the importance of music in her life and at the school.
