I teach K-5 Vocal Music in very low socio ecomonic school. I have been looking at this series for a while but have yet to be able to afford to purchase them for my classroom. I am a newby to your website but have fallin’ in love with your materials. I recently purchased the composer set that I will use next year in my room. Thanks for considering me for the prize and thanks for your amazing site!
