Speak, Sing, Native - Jim Pepperfest

Speak/Sing Native is an original, multidisciplinary concept in K-12 music education for the general student that aligns with Oregon state standards and complements the Oregon Department of Education’s Tribal History/Shared History initiative. Our mission is to improve access to culturally relevant music education for K-12 students in Jim Pepper’s name and reflecting the educational legacy of his mother, Floy C. Pepper. In the absence of culturally relevant music curriculum, it is our mission to create and deliver one, which we have named Speak/Sing Native.
