Today was my (Alyssa H.'s) last day working for the College of Music. You may have never met me face to face but I had the opportunity to be the girl "behind the scenes" for String Project, Early Childhood Music, and the Orchestra Summer Day Camp (among others). Many emails were sent and many encouraging ones received. Thank you for giving your children the gift of music, you'll never regret it!

UNT's Early Childhood Music Program is excited to welcome our new teacher, Sandy Cubero!
Sandy holds a B.M. in music education from Georgia State University and a M.S. in Educational Leadership from Indiana University. Sandy taught elementary music in Indiana for five years before moving to Texas. Her husband is on faculty at the College of Music while Sandy is currently staying home with her one-year-old son and teaching private lessons in cello, violin, and piano. As a music teacher, she incorporates movement, games, and singing to foster a holistic learning experience. She is excited to work with all the children and families this year.

There’s no shortage of music lessons in Denton. The city is, after all, home to a large music school at University of North Texas. Without leaving the city limits, locals can study voice and just about any instrument that suits their fancy.
Readers rate the UNT String Program as the best place in town to wrap your brain and your hands around a violin, viola, cello or double bass. The program’s scope is limited to children in second through eighth grade.
“Learning to play a stringed instrument and belonging to the UNT String Project opens up a whole new world of friendship and fun,” director Rebecca Roesler says. “The opportunities for playing a stringed instrument in school and even after high school are abundant, with many universities offering scholarships just for orchestra participation.”
The string program teaches more than music. Children in the program learn self-discipline, cooperation, problem-solving, goal-setting and self-expression.
The program’s officials said they’ve gotten praise for both the music and the relationships formed with their young students’ families.
“We’d like to think that we are doing a good job educating the community’s children and providing a wonderful musical experience for them,” Roesler said. “However, it’s important to note that the families we work with have always been so supportive of our teachers and program and we wouldn’t be here with out their support.
Families can monitor the music education program’s Facebook page at http://on.fb.me/1IT3Pw6.
Tonight is our end of the year String Project concert! It will take place at Winspear Hall (UNT campus) at 6:30 pm. This is a FREE event and all are welcome! If you have a child who'd like to attend String Project this fall, we'd love to have you there. See you tonight!
Did you know that during the semester, a music group at UNT performs at Noon every Friday? We call it "Music at Noon" and anyone can come! The performance is always in the main lobby right off of Ave. C and you can park in the meters on Chestnut. Come join us before the semester ends!
Our very own Dr. Roesler will be presenting at NTMEA this Thursday at 6pm in room 290 at the College of Music! Make sure to check it out! Her presentation title is, "Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement: Preparing Students for Independent Problem Solving." See you there!
