Music in Our Schools Month (MIOSM) is an annual celebration taking place in March which engages music educators, students, and communities from around the country in promoting the benefits of high-quality music education programs in schools.

To celebrate MIOSM, we selected one student from each grade level to discuss what music means to them. Next up is fourth-grader Gunner Hogue and third-grader Kouria Warner.

What is your favorite part about participating in music?

GH: My favorite part is just getting to sing all the songs. I really enjoy singing the most. 

KW: I really get nervous and have stage fright. But my siblings always tell me I should sing because they think I'm a good singer. So, I try my best.

What is your favorite type of music?

GH: I really like rock music!

KW: I like pop and country music the most!
