Play to Learn Violin students at PS 185K performed beautifully at their Midori Matinee last week! Special thanks to Honorable Council Member @JustinBrannan for his support for music education in District 43! 👏

"I would like to say that I love being a part, even if it is a marginal one, of the Midori after school program. I was in the chorus during all my school years, and I think it is a shame that music is not a part of all NYC school's curriculum,” says Mrs. B, PS 232Q @JoannAriola32

After the Celebrate! Music concert featuring @MusicToUnify at PS 54Q, the school’s Principal, Patricia Hanley, shared, “The show was amazing! One student in grade 2 said to me "I wish we could do this every day." @Lynn4NYC Midori&Friends loves bringing free music to District 29!

Take a look at the Play to Learn Violin students at PS 185K! They are keeping tempo for Midori & Friends Teaching Artist, Megan, while she plays Jingle Bells and they are having a blast playing a collaborative bow-hold game that teaches them proper technique! @JustinBrannan
