Call for $10,000 grant applications open as music teachers in Canada sing the praises of MusiCan
Today MusiCan celebrates a recent survey that proves with a fistful of money and a lot of heart, significant growth in music education is possible. The survey reported that recipient school students have been given the ability to explore different genres of music, seen the creation of new musical ensembles and many recipient schools have indicated an increased number of public performances since being awarded a grant. MusiCan, the charitable arm of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS), plans to continue its mission to elevate music education in Canadian schools, and is now accepting applications for 2008-2009 Band Aid grants.
Thank you!
