Music is a universal language for students and how exciting it is to support English language learners who are new to the United States who have been here for a year to be involved with this program,” said Michael Pisseri, Principal at Davenport Ridge Elementary School.

We have over 25 different countries. New to us this year is Afghanistan, Israel, the Ukraine, Honduras and many other countries including Mexico. We now have two programs here at our school because it’s such a program that is bursting at the seams. There’s such a need for it,” he added.
