Our
public schools need musical instruments desperately. Because new
instruments are so expensive, their purchase and repair are major
stumbling blocks to starting or maintaining school music programs.
Music
in Schools Today recognized the instrument need and created the
original, year-round Adopt an Instrument program in 1990. The program
is simple. It recycles donated musical instruments to public schools
-- people give their used musical instruments to us, and we distribute
them to schools and community centers year-round.

 Thank
You to Music at Kohl Mansion!
We
would like to thank everyone at Music
at Kohl Mansion for their tremendous support of our Adopt
an Instrument program! (See
three photos.) In our first two seasons of collaboration, we have
received nearly two dozen donated instruments from them, including
a bass, 3 saxophones, 2 cellos, a charango, 2 clarinets, a coronet,
2 flutes, 2 guitars, 2 keyboards, a recorder, 2 trombones, a Turkish
Cumbus, and 3 violins. Our gratitude to Music
at Kohl Education Chair Anneke Gaenslen, Executive Director Patricia
Kristof Moy, and super-volunteer Leanne Burr (pictured) for their
dedication to this cause. We would also like to thank Shirley Hort
for her generous donation to cover the repair of nine of the instruments
in need of a little pick-me-up before meeting their new owners! |
