Thank you MFE for keeping music a major part of our school! Thank you for inspiring us to continue with our musical journey.
Having MFE at Reynolds Middle School makes a huge difference in the lives of the students who want to learn and perform instruments.
Thank you for your generous donation! The musc that we have been able to sing provided an experience that I'll remember for years! I would not have been able to have this experience if it weren't for your organization, so I am incredibly thankful!
At Washington Elementary School, MFE grants have made it possible for any student in 4th and 5th grade to play a band or orchestra instrument, regardless of their family's income. MFE works tirelessly to break down barriers and ensure that music is accessible to everyone.
I love having MFE in my classroom! The teachers challenge my students to improve and reinforce the learning that they do with me in the classroom!
Your presence in Lancaster is so positive for the community! Thank you for including our school in your performance circuit!
