Program Needs

The following is a list of the program’s needs that are eligible for support from a sponsor:

• instruments & instrument maintenance
• teachers' salaries*
• music*
• OYOA scholarships
• administrative costs
• administrators' salaries*
• rent
• legal costs*
• accounting costs*
• insurance costs (instruments & liability)
• security checks
• printing
• translation
• miscellaneous things that we haven't even thought of yet

At the start of the program, all items marked with an * were donated. Teachers donated their time, The Leading Note donated the music and The Leading Note Foundation administrators, Tina Fedeski, Gary McMillen, Margaret Tobolowska and Sheilah Craven all donated their time. The teachers and administrators believe passionately in this program and were motivated to start immediately. However, it is vital to the long-term success of The Leading Note Foundation to be able to continue to attract the most qualified teachers for our young students in a growing, thriving program.
