Choral Music Program

Beginning in the 1998/1999 school year, LASF and the Lafayette School District commenced a vocal music partnership. By combining LASF funds with new funding from the Lafayette School District, the School District can afford to hire credentialed music teachers for each school. All Lafayette school children are the beneficiaries of 30 minutes of vocal music each week.

Instrumental Music Program

LASF pays for the instrumental music aides hired by the the instrumental music teacher. The aides allow for greater small group instruction.

California Symphony

LASF funded this as a pilot program at Lafayette Elementary School beginning in February, 1995. It has since been funded to all schools on a rotating basis. The Education in the Schools Program has been enthusiastically received by the teachers and administration. Currently, the instrumental music program is an elective in the Lafayette School District. However, the California Symphony's program exposes all the students to instrumental music, the symphony orchestra, and its four instrument families. This early exposure to professional musicians stimulates, excites and encourages students to appreciate music and to pursue music practice and performance. This is an ideal way to prepare all students for the instrumental music program offered to the fourth and fifth grade students and the middle and high school programs.
