Friends of South Florida Music (FSFM),  a non-profit foundation, understands the importance of these subjects and why young children are particularly in need of art and music. Unfortunately, these important programs are not taught by a music specialist until 2nd Grade in most of our public schools which led to the development of the Music FUNdamentals program.
