Thank you so much for reaching out to us and for the opportunity to widen our message. #WeAreMinnesota

If your student asks, we will be honest with our thoughts and feelings in age appropriate and authentic ways.

Respectifully,
Alicia & Andrew Kopp

We are here to talk outside of lessons if you or your student need to talk to a trusted adult that they have built rapport with. While we won't bring up the topic, we will not shy away from conversations that involve heavy feelings should you or your student bring it up.

Andy, myself, and A Kopp Music as a business entity do not support the offensive actions by ICE, Homeland Security, Customs and Board Patrol, or the Trump Administration in its entirety. We stand by our communities of broad diversity and color, rich with culture and heritage.

I am mixed heritage with my father being an immigrant from Guatemala. Even though he has been a US Citizen since 1983, I am fearful due to the actions we have seen taken by ICE and CBP as they have swept up persons regardless of status and citizenship for the sole reason of the color of their skin.

We have many students and parents of young students that have either been involved with local activism, protests, or are legal observers. We also have students that are or have family members that are immigrants.
