The curator there is reaching out for some fun help. All you would have to do is call a voice mailbox and sing the lyrics to the song “Taps”. (Did you know there were lyrics to “Taps”?) The voices will all be put together and played as an exhibit at GAC.

We begin today a series of musical videos where you can watch, listen, and sing along with (lyrics provided)! Today we bring you "Jesus, Keep Me Near The Cross". This song was written by Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915), the author of over 8,500 gospel songs. Though blind at 6 weeks of age, Crosby began composing texts at age 6. She later became a teacher at the New York School for the Blind, where she was a student. A friend of several presidents, Crosby became one of the most important advocates for the cause of the blind in the United States. Listen and sing along: ow.ly/iHZW50yY3QI

With coronavirus being a concern for grown ups, kids might also be worrying. Here's how to talk about COVID-19 with your young children, plus ways to practice healthy habits all year round.As it is Fanfare policy to follow the lead of GISD in implementing non-scheduled school closures, the decision has been made to cancel all classes at Fanfare! Lutheran Music Academy for the week of March 16-20 due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus/COVID-19.
As of now, plans are to resume our regular class schedules on Monday, March 23; but please check our Facebook page for updates as this is an ever-changing situation.
As is GISD protocol, any Fanfare student or staff member who has traveled to Europe, Asia, or New York City within the last two weeks is required to self-quarantine for 14 days before returning to classes as long as they are symptom free.
While we have this week of no classes, we will be cleaning/disinfecting Fanfare classrooms and common areas with special attention to disinfecting commonly touched surfaces, such as doorknobs, handles, and instruments - because we are committed to the health and safety of our students and staff as our highest priority. We will remain vigilant and prepared to make decisions based on current needs, as well as in response to changing conditions.
Know that as we make these decisions, we are responding with wisdom and respect, not out of fear.
Note: Information about the symptoms, prevention & treatment, and the latest coronavirus updates may be found by visiting the Centers for Decease Control and Prevention (CDC) website or the Texas Health and Human Services website.
Meanwhile, we encourage everyone to stay safe, wash their hands, and practice self-care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to support you or your family.
Thank you and stay healthy!

In Black History Month, we’re celebrating the most famous and influential black composers in classical music history, from Scott Joplin to Florence Price.Such a treat to have Maestro Trond Saeverud, conductor of the Galveston Symphony Orchestra give a special presentation to both our Fanfare! students and the students of the Galveston Homeschool Performing Arts Co-op yesterday! Thank you so much for your funny, musical, interesting and amazing stories - adults and students alike had a fantastic time!
It was a pleasure to be invited to perform last week for the UTMB Dr. Martin Luther King Service Award Luncheon! And we appreciated our very receptive audience!
Looking for a musical matinee tomorrow? This will be great!Confirmed sources lead us to warn you that THE THIEVING ALTO is riding in!! OPEN FOR THE PUBLIC tomorrow at 4pm here at First Lutheran Church Galveston! Considered musically dangerous throughout the Houston territory, MATTHEW CARRINGTON will be accompanied by his sidekick RICK "Harps" ERICKSON, Director of Bach Society Houston on the harpsichord. For those who are not faint of heart, we heartily recommend that you make plans to saddle up your posse and get ready to ride in and catch them in the act of performing works STOLEN from 3 different instruments: A Bach sonata for viola da gamba, a Telemann violin fantasy, and a Gabrieli ricercar for cello. A $5-$10 donation is suggested for the reward of bringing pleasure to your ears and heart. A worship service will follow at 5:30pm - ALL ARE WELCOME!

Music students have higher academic exam scores than their non-musical peers.It was an amazing year for Fanfare! As we move through another December, we pause and take a moment to think about the transformational power of music and the arts on young lives of Galveston children! We could not do this without the generosity of others. So, before we close the books on 2019, we ask you to consider a year-end gift.
A tax-deductible gift of just $50 will pay for a full month of lessons for a child; a gift of any amount will make such a difference to our organization. There is no amount too big or too small to change lives. Please donate at
