Debra Cave has designed a curriculum that infuses music into her science classes at Frisco's Christie Elementary School, the district's lone bilingual school. She's created a CD/DVD to fit the lessons and has drawn national attention for her efforts, from Texas A&M University researchers to the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
