Thanks for your support!
Please support the NEST+m music department! We are accepting donations
outside the auditorium. Our students work extremely hard and need assistance
with instruments, supplies, sheet music, equipment, and NYSSMA registration.
Music Matters!
"All children should have the opportunity to be involved in the arts, including
music, so that they can develop an appreciation for beauty. Music, as well as the
other arts, touches the soul and offers children lives that are colorful instead of
humdrum. Through the arts, especially through active participation in music,
children learn the sort of discipline that enables them to become better organized, to work as members of a team, and, most important , to be more sensitive
people than they might otherwise be." - Jacquelyn Dillon-Krass
