Red Oak Chamber OrganizationMy friends and I are fortunate enough to have an excellent music program in our school district, through which we have gained the chance to form an appreciation for music in its various forms, as well as been allowed the chance to express ourselves artistically and discover new areas of aptitude. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to experience the process of music education, and that circumstances should never prevent any child from being able to learn music.
However, many schools do not have the money to fully fund a music program. Some schools have fewer than a dozen students enrolled in their music programs, mostly due to a limited supply of musical staff and equipment. This prevents many students the opportunity to make music a part of their lives. With this in mind, we created the The Red Oak Chamber Organization (ROCO). ROCO consists of a collection of dedicated musicians. Our organization hopes to increase the amount of students given access to music education by raising money to donate to the music department of a financially struggling school in our area. In 2015, we donated $1500 to a high school’s music program!! You can donate to our fund at: www.igg.me/at/roco |
