“Elementary music education lays the foundation for a lifelong relationship with learning and creativity,” said Kathryn (Kathy) and Kent Kuddes. “We wanted to invest in the preparation of those educators who make that possible — those who shape confidence and curiosity in students at a very early age. UNT is a leader in this work, and we’re proud to support its continued and future impact on classrooms and communities.”
