On Friday, April 26, the Molding Musicians program held its end of year performance in the auditorium of King Elementary School. In this free program, sponsored by Boys & Girls Club of Cypress, 4th, 5th and 6th grade students from both Clara J. King and Steve Luther Elementary Schools are taught to play instruments by volunteer high school instructors from Kennedy and Cypress High Schools. The program is offered to students free of charge and many families receive assistance with instrument rental. This year, 25 high school students taught 35 elementary students to play their choice of instrument and included the flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, guitar, piano, and violin. Each instrument group performed at least one piece in a concert for family members and friends. At the end of the concert, all Molding Musicians students received medals and the outstanding volunteer teachers received certificates.
The Molding Musicians program is supported and organized through the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress. This year’s program received financial support from the Jane Deming Fund grant program of the Orange County Community Foundation.
