General Music Program at DeKalb Middle School emphasizes core music skills
DTC Communications, in partnership with the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS), recently awarded DeKalb Middle School a $4917.03 grant. The grant will be used to expand the school’s General Music Program and “allow the school to purchase new classroom instruments and instructional materials, enhancing music education resources for current and future students.”
DeKalb Middle School’s music teacher, Hannah Bratton, said DMS appreciates the support.
“The DeKalb Middle School Saints want to sincerely thank the Foundation for Rural Service for the generous Community Grant awarded to our general music program. This grant allows us to purchase classroom instruments and instructional materials to support all our current and future students,” said Bratton. “Students will enjoy playing high-quality instruments as they develop their love of folk music, and we are excited to see the community’s love of music grow because of this charitable contribution.
The General Music Program at DeKalb Middle School emphasizes core music skills, including rhythm, music literacy and composition, inspiring students to develop a lifelong love of music.
“When we received the call, it felt like a prayer had been answered because the students now have access to the music education they deserve. Thank you, FRS and DTC, for your support,” said Bratton.
DTC says the new resources will allow students more opportunities to play “high-quality instruments and broaden their understanding and enjoyment of music.”
DTC Communications is “proud to be a part of this meaningful initiative.”
“At DTC Communications, we believe that investing in our local schools and students enriches our entire community,” said Chris Townson, CEO of DTC Communications. “This partnership with FRS reflects our shared commitment to empowering young learners to explore the arts and reach their full potential.”
