To whom it may concern,

I am just writing a note to thank you for covering and encouraging the ukulele program. My son is jumping out of bed on “uke days” and came home today hugging his instrument. His enthusiasm for this class has lead to him to want to take other music lessons. He has been having a hard time at school socially and academically and the Uke Can Do It program has really helped his self esteem.

Thank you

My students and I thank CARAS and MusiCounts for awarding our school this fantastic grant! Overnight our band program will dramatically change in terms of what we will now be able to do, take home and perform! Our new instruments will not be sitting on the shelf for very long indeed. The impact will be immediate! - Music Teacher from Ancaster, Ontario

Thank you so much for the opportunity to offer strings at our school in Wallaceburg. This will enrich the lives of our students and bring instrumental music to many students who would not have this opportunity! - Music Teacher from Wallaceburg, Ontario

The community is very appreciative of this grant. As we move towards opening a grade 7 classroom next year, it will help us maintain a strings program already established for our grade 5 and 6 students. As well, it will allow us to maintain our music program for our primary students. – Principal from Toronto, Ontario

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for our recent MusiCounts grant! The grant will most definitely support our music endeavours. Our students are looking forward to developing their musical horizons with new opportunities. Once again, thank you for this wonderful grant! We are very appreciative and will treat our new instruments well! -Music Teacher from Burnaby, British Columbia

On behalf of our students, parents, administration and myself, I would like to thank you very much for all the wonderful purchases for our school. We all are absolutely thrilled! Many thanks again, what a wonderful job all the people at MusiCounts are doing!!!!!!! – Music Teacher from Toronto, Ontario
