View this email in your browser Grow Music Missoula Newsletter, April 2024 Fostering personal growth and belonging through youth-centered musical development. Happy Earth Month. Spring is upon us and it’s sure getting gorgeous outside. I hope you all had a lovely and rejuvenating Spring Break! We are now in that last leg of the semester before summer - which to me, kind of feels like sprinting the 800 meter. Actual footage here. The pain is real. Homage to our Planet. The lilac bush and apple tree are in full bloom, evoking memories of Kate Wolf's poignant song. Her sweet, lyrical verses paint a picture of an abandoned homestead where only the garden, with its lilac and apple trees, continues to thrive. For this newsletter, I've curated a playlist for your listening pleasure, starting with this very song. It's a tribute to the multitude of artists who use their voices to honor our home and also bring awareness to the challenges our planet faces. I hope you enjoy it. Events. Students and teachers have been diligently preparing for Spring recitals and various end-of-the-school-year performances across public and private schools, and our own teaching studio. Our partnerships continue to thrive, the Grow Music mentorship students are flourishing and becoming even more remarkable teachers each day. Anna and Jessica have found great fulfillment working as clinicians at C.S. Porter, Big Sky HS, and Hellgate HS, respectively. In the Grow Music Studio, we're gearing up for three upcoming performances to share with our community. Join us for these very special events!
