H.+A.+Brown

= At [|H.A. Brown Elementary School] =

The music program at H.A. Brown is successful and growing every year. We received a gift of new instruments this year and so were able to expand our program to include even more students. The band now includes flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and alto horn. The students in the music program receive one 45-minute music lesson every Tuesday and the opportunity to perform in at least two concerts every school year. We are particularly proud of several of our students who have taken the initiative to perform on their own at the local community center; they are both talented and brave and we support them 100%!
