The Molding Musicians Program began on Feb. 3 at King Elementary School in Cypress. In this program, 5th and 6th grade students from both Clara J. King and Steve Luther Elementary Schools are taught to play instruments by 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. The Molding Musicians program is supported by the Boys & Girls Club of Cypress and Carol Erbe, Principal of King Elementary School. This year’s program received financial support from the Jane Deming Fund grant program of the Orange County Community Foundation. Pictured are the program’s high school instructors getting ready for a semester of teaching the joys of music.
