BAKERSFIELD SCHOOL DISTRICT SELECTED FOR PILOT MUSIC PROGRAM

The Bakersfield City School District is one of just three districts in the country selected to help pilot a national music program. District Visual and Performing Arts Coordinator Mike Stone says it gives teachers and students access to recordings from the Library of Congress…

Stone uses old recordings of an African American spiritual as an example. Teachers will provide an instructional unit for junior high and middle school choirs using the program, starting in the fall.
