[HANASHIR:5312] Re: odds and ends

[Meris Ruzow <meris...>]

Wendy - You need to make it very clear to your principal (either the old one
or new one) that music books are no different than buying math books,
science lab kits or siddurim!   While you can't buy every book that's out
there, it's up to you to peruse what IS out there and decide what age group
you need to target.    Don't undersell yourself or the importance of a music
curriculum in your day school.   Once the parents, staff and community see
the quality coming out of your program, they'll be more supportive than you
think.    It's up to us to educate the rest of the world!

Good luck,
Meris Ruzow
