A San Marcos High School music teacher recently received a grant from 21st Century Fox and Give a Note Foundation. Christopher Hanson was one of 20 music educators to receive a $1,000 grant for his school music program. In addition, Hanson was one of five educators selected to attend the 2016 National Music Education Conference in November as a VIP guest.
The grants were awarded as part of a national “MusicEd Idol” competition announced last July. Students and parents were invited to nominate music educators who inspired them. “This is a wonderful opportunity to shine a spotlight on great music programs, which benefit students in all U.S. schools,” says Jane Mell Balek, CEO of the Give a Note Foundation. “These stories cannot be told enough, and we encourage communities to support their local school’s music programs and the teachers who make them possible.”
