Notelove is a 501(c) non-profit organization dedicated to giving free music lessons to low-income students in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We are looking for high schoolers, age 14-17, who would be interested in joining our organization as either an instructor or a behind-the-scenes volunteer. As an instructor, you will be paired up with an elementary to middle school aged student to teach lessons to. This requires at least 2 years of experience on your instrument. As a behind-the-scenes volunteer, you will be expected to help with Notelove events, such as recitals, Music and Me, and fundraisers when asked. This requires no experience.

Regardless of position, this is a steady source of volunteer hours (our hours are also usable for the presidential service award) and a great way to develop your teaching skills!

Thank you to the Parent Volunteers listed above who have recently volunteered!

If you have any questions about CHS Choir volunteer slots, please contact Mrs. Conkovich at kconkovich@coppellisd.com
