or Al Stephens, president and owner of Moore Music Company, education and music go hand in hand. That’s why his business, which has been a Greensboro fixture for 80 years, invests heavily in Guilford County Schools’ music programs both during the school year and summer. “I want kids to play music,” he said. “It carries over into improved grades across all subjects, improved discipline, just a whole number of things. Music programs give kids another family to belong to.” Moore Music is a sponsor of three summer programs that are part of the school system’s Summer Arts Institute. It is the sole funder of the Moore Music Band and Orchestra Jump Ahead, a program for rising sixth graders looking to start playing an instrument. It also provides support for the Moore Music Honor Jazz Camp and the Moore Music Band and Orchestra Camp, both for grades 7-12. Before school starts back in August, Moore Music will host its annual workshop for Guilford County Schools music teachers.
