Music Education in Seattle Public Schools | Our Creative Team
The creative concept for Music4Life™ was born in the fall of 2007 and is an ongoing program. The immediate goal is clear: put musical instruments in good playing condition into the hands of children and youth wishing to use them now. Procure the instruction, supplies and support (like instrument maintenance) to strengthen the elementary instrumental music program and ensure strong music programs throughout Seattle Public Schools.

We are acquiring musical instruments, supplies and other resources from members of Rotary clubs in the city of Seattle and from other citizens who understand the value of music in a child’s life. We work with instrument manufacturers, rental agencies, wholesalers, retailers, and others around the world who have access to serviceable musical instruments. Anyone who loves music and believes in music education for all children can join the effort!
Music Education in Seattle Public Schools
Seattle Public Schools is a diverse family of schools, serving 45,800 students in a dynamic, standards-based learning community. The Seattle school district is the largest public school system in Washington, and the 44th largest in the United States. Music4Life™ will begin by serving schools with immediate needs and high numbers of students on “Free and Reduced Lunch” (FRL)*, and then expand to serving schools district-wide. Most schools with high FRL rates are in southeast and southwest Seattle.

-

-
Aligned between grades, so that students follow a clear progression as they master skills
