Teacher testimonials
Thank you! This is an incredible program that is such a gift to our students (and staff!). Our students love music but often have limited access to performances, even in our city full of the arts. We are so grateful that Class Notes is working to bridge that gap. We also appreciate the diverse options of performers so that our students can see themselves mirrored in the musicians they see and hear.— Music Teacher, Minneapolis
Our students were exposed to and participated in some great world music, heard fabulous stories from around the world and learned about new instruments in an excellent and engaging presentation by talented performers! Most of all, the performers exuded musical joy and were truly wonderful people who just had fun with the students and their teachers!— General Music Teacher, St. Paul
This program is a treasure. It is incredible to have world class musicians come into my classroom during the school day for FREE and provide an educational concert experience for my students. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!— Choir Director, Hopkins
