Friends of Robert Eagle Staff Musical Arts (FORESMA) was established to ensure that a music education continues to be accessible to all Robert Eagle Staff Middle School students, regardless of their ability to rent an instrument or pay for individual lessons.

We raise funds to build and support this unique music program: a program that supports each individual, builds confidence through teamwork, and establishes a place of belonging for students.

Our funding priorities include:
Acquisition and maintenance of musical instruments (supplemental to what is provided by Seattle Public Schools)
Small-group instruction (instrument coaching from professional clinicians)
Support of early jazz music education - Jazz band instructor and participation at workshops and competitions
Library of sheet music
Signature student off-site event experiences and participation in regional festivals and parades

Funds we raise can offset the cost per student of participation, and in some cases can make or break whether an activity is available at all.
