VH1 Save the Music

I know it sounds cheesy, VH1 Save the music but it’s not. This is actually a really great program that has impacted many schools. There are seven schools in San Diego that have been helped and impacted by Save the Music. This program raises money to restore musical programs that are part of daily curriculum in schools. The programs range from stringed instruments, pianos, and band. The money is raised through special events, promotions and donations. This program believes every student can benefit from music. On the VH1 Save the music website there is a handbook that describes the music programs. This handbook is an outline for how the program can be run, what standards they cover, success stories, maintenance of instruments, and how to select students for the program. I suggest anyone interested in helping save music in schools check out this website.

Schools helped San Diego: 175,000 dollars worth of musical instruments have been donated to these seven San Diego Schools.
