What does music mean to you?
Music is the soul, the Spirit of life, that heals, helps, promotes, produces growth in the body, mind and spirit.
Why is the music-based service movement important to you?
Through service we improve our own skills and develop and share the gifts we have been given. We also encourage future generations to become creators, not destroyers, and to contribute to the development of their communities.
Haiti, Ghana, inner city US(soon Uganda and Nigeria)
My service mission:
Providing musical instruments, accessories, sheet music and instructional materials, and musical instruction to students and staff of established and start-up music programs in challenged areas.
