I am a board-certified music therapist working in a center-based day treatment program for severely emotionally impaired students in grades 3 through 5. They are highly motivated in wanting to learn how to play an instrument such as the recorder, but I do not have enough to go around. I would like to give each of my students a recorder to take home, so that they can practice their music skills. 98% of my students are on the free lunch program and many of their parents/guardians have lost their jobs due to today's economy. Therefore, many of them cannot afford to purchase supplemental music materials for their child.
