Subject: Re: [MK8] funding for private school classrooms

I also teach in a small private Christian school with zero resources or instruments. Very similiar environment to what you are describing. With all the stimulus funding floating around, I keep hoping that music departments, public or private, could benefit, but nothing so far.
Any input from members would be greatly appreciated on this subject!
Thanks,
