In March, Professor of Music Lee Goodhew Romm taught and performed in several SiNEM schools in Costa Rica.  SiNEM,  Costa Rica's National System of Music Education (part of the Ministry of Culture and Youth), is a nationwide initiative to improve the lot of the nation's young people through music education.  SiNEM schools bring together urban and rural populations and give children opportunities they would not otherwise have to develop culturally and academically.

Goodhew Romm had the opportunity to visit, teach and perform in two successful SiNEM schools in Liberia and Nicoya.
