The Klein ISD Music Appreciation Volunteer Program’s objective is to provide, through volunteers and invited guest performers, an enrichment program in music appreciation for the elementary school children of the district, so that students may increase their understanding of and love for music. Any interested volunteer may inquire and participate. Many campuses have a music appreciation volunteer coordinator to help organize the local school program. There is also a volunteer district music coordinator who works to help coordinate the various school programs.
The Klein Music Appreciation Program through volunteers, recruited within each school, offers grade-appropriate programs which introduce the instruments of the orchestra. Also offered is a Pre-K–3rd Grade forty-five-minute puppet show “The Musical Kid” which, with the assistance of an enthusiastic young puppet, introduces the families and instruments of the orchestra to the students. This is an upbeat puppet presentation requiring a narrating volunteer, volunteers for six puppets and someone to run the CD player. The same script is available in Spanish. There is also a Spanish CD which contains the entire script already performed; volunteers are needed to work the puppets, and someone to run the CD player.
