The Problem

I am trying to show that keeping music in public schools can have an impact on children.

Plan of Action

I conducted a free two week camp for under privileged children. This camp was called Camp Seuss. I took about 15 kids and directed as well as music directed Seussical the Musical Jr. to them. After the two weeks was over they put on the show for their family and friends. I feel like I helped the kids to see that there is hope for them. After the show they all asked if I would come back next year and do it again. This not only impacted the kids but it showed me that all they want is to be loved and if you can do that with a fun activity such as music then why take it away from them?
