• Mahopac School District Award Is Music to the Ears

  The Mahopac Central School District has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. Long known in the community for its dedication to musical excellence, with stellar concerts, musicals and performances throughout the year, Mahopac is being recognized as one of the most outstanding districts in the country for its musical education programs.

   

  The Best Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide music access and education to all students. The NAMM Foundation is a nonprofit supported by the National Association of Music Merchants.

   

  “I would like to express my thanks to our music staff and administration for developing the culture of music here in Mahopac that allows our students to flourish in the performing arts,” said Mahopac’s music-department chair, Stas Przymylski.

   

  Przymylski had to submit an extensive application touching on all levels of music instruction, including detailed questions about funding, music class instruction time, facilities, support for the music program, and community music-making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and reviewed by the Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas, according to NAMM’s website.
