Brian Wiebe Goshen College Music Center
by Drake, Marie
Elkhart Rotarian Brian Wiebe is the director of the Goshen College Music Center. The Goshen College Music Center Community School of the Arts Music Together program The Goshen College Music Center's Community School of the Arts Music Together program received the Center of the Year Award for Highest Growth at the annual Music Together Directors Weekend held at Princeton, N.J., in mid-May.
"Much of our growth has been among traditionally under-served populations. This award brings attention to these efforts, which have been possible in part because of generous community support," said Brian Wiebe, director of the Music Center. "The award validates the work and determination of this community to see music become a positive influence for many families."
The award recognizes the center that has grown the most in the past year. The Goshen College Community School of the Arts program has grown over 200 percent. It serves 400-450 families per semester, and includes both preschool and parent-child offerings in more than 12 public schools. The program added the most new preschools in the 2010-11 academic year, with preschool programs accounting for 75 percent of all participants.
"Music Together® outreach classes brings together people of different income and education levels, old and young, people of every religion and political persuasion. They all join a circle singing the same songs, feeling the same things. They become a community of like-minded people in this one activity," said Deb Kauffman, associate director of the Music Center. "We believe that music can change the world, one child at a time."
In Music Together®, children attend a weekly 45-minute class with a parent, grandparent or other caregiver, and receive a songbook and professional CD for home listening. Classes are taught by a trained professional and are held in various locations throughout Elkhart County. | June Birthdays

Dear Rotarians,
My e-mail address is lunamarie55@msn.com.
I no longer will be using lunamarie@verizon.net. As some of you may know, Verizon is now Frontier and after December 31, 2010 they will not longer be forwarding from this e-mail.
I will not be adding a new e-mail address.
Thank you
Marie Drake
