    Educational Outreach Giving the Gift of Music is a multi-faceted program that reaches students in K-12, University of Wyoming and Laramie County Community College music students. It presents unique educational windows for students that can implement their understanding and appreciation of music, contributing to their quality of life and helping them become good citizens. Research shows that the arts stimulate learning, improve overall academic performance, teach discipline, promote teamwork, and help children develop problem-solving skills. The CSO has six areas in which the program provides opportunities for students to develop these virtues. It's a GAS!
