Interested Helping Out With A Music Program?

This project is to let students give music lessons to under privileged children.
Last year, the project pulled together a space, instruments, and had students teaching children how to play instruments for the first time for an hour once a week.. The space is owned by an alum's family and is located in Pawtucket (past the top of North Main St.). There are many wind, brass, and percussion instruments. This project allows MB students who play a musical instrument(s) a fun and rewarding community service opportunity.
Challenges involved in the project include: finding MB students to teach and under privileged students to learn, managing the instruments (the project lost a few last year when students did not return), and setting up a system so that the project continues in the future.
There are many great resources available to this project. It simply needs a leader to step up and bring the resources and idea to its full potential.
