Budding Beethovens Grant Grants provide money for special projects. The Community Foundation of Sarasota County and The Education Foundation have paid for many exciting activities including studies about diversity. Here are some pictures of previous grant activities in which students learned to write variations of Beethoven's ODE TO JOY theme from his 9th Symphony. Ask your recorder student about Beethoven's ODE TO JOY. |
Collaborative Skill Building Students worked in pairs to create their own versions of Beethoven's music. We videotaped the performances of their personal creations. |

Volunteer Maurene Empie, a concert pianist who lives in Venice, helped Mrs. Johns teach the students how to imagine, perform, and write their variations. She also accompanied the advanced recorder ensemble and the chorus when they performed for their parents and friends. |
Community partners! Recent grants were based on the theme of WE ARE FAMILY. We always appreciate the assistance of local funding sources, which help us provide extraordinary interdisciplinary learning experiences for our students, including The Education Foundation and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. |
