Music Foundation

This fall the brother and I spent a lot of our time working with 4-8th graders through his Music Foundation. The music foundation is financed through the United Way and generous donors. We were able to use the performance and practice space in a local college's art compound, so that worked out beautifully.

We had several workshops. The kids learned to sing new music, learned dances popular from diff. decades (including the full Saturday Night Fever dance), we taught them to write songs, and we had performances for their families. Our activities got noticed for two decent articles on the Front Page of the local newspaper, so that really made the kids days.

Next year in the spring we'll have a children's choir and a musical for them to perform in.
