Volunteers. Without our volunteers, we'd have no way toward our mission to transform lives through music. We are fortunate enough to have volunteers teach private lessons, direct musical ensembles, teach group classes, drive the van to pick up teachers, organize the library, staff camps, clean the building, and much more! Thank you to all of our volunteers.
Students. We LOVE our students. We are thankful that we get to see you each week (some of you multiple times a week) and we love to see you grow and learn. Our students are the reason we exist and come to school every day. Thank you to all of our students.
Parents/Families. It is so great to be a part of the big W.O. Smith family! We are thankful to be a part of your family's life, and we thank you for all you do for your W.O. Smith student. Nothing can compare to the help with transportation, encouragement, support, applause, and everything else you do for all the students here at school! Thank you to all of our parents and families.
Advisory Council and Board of Directors. Every organization must rely on strong leadership in order to succeed, and here at the W.O. Smith Music School we are very thankful for excellent leadership from several incredible people. Thank you to our Advisory Council and Board of Directors.
Donors and Supporters. Our donors and financial supporters do everything from helping to send students to summer camp each summer, to purchasing new instruments and equipment, to helping pay the light bill. We are incredibly thankful for all of the financial support we receive in order to keep the doors open and continue the mission of the school, volunteers, and students. Thank you to all of our donors and supporters.
Community. We are so thankful to be part of such a great community in Nashville! From our neighbors down the street to our friends in the greater Nashville area, the W.O. Smith community is a wonderful one, and we are glad to be here. Thank you to our community of Nashville and the arts organizations and patrons in it. The spirit of community keeps the vision and mission of music education strong.
Building. W.O. Smith wouldn't be able to do what we do if we didn't have a roof over our heads, and what a beautiful roof it is! We are so thankful to have a wonderful place for teachers and students to come make music each day, and also for the now iconic building with a treble clef where many lucky people choose to host a special event. More than just the four walls that surround us, thank you for our building.
Dr. William Oscar Smith. The man behind the mission. Even though Doc Smith is no longer with us, his memory and mission for quality music instruction for all is still carried forward through the W.O. Smith Music School. We are thankful for him and all of the founding members of the school.
What are you thankful for this season?
