Drum for Life
Drum for Life is designed for wheelchair bound young men between the ages of 15 and 25. It is the goal of the Center to provide opportunities for these young men to become a productive part of society by learning the arts of making and playing conga drums. They become skilled craftsmen and musicians, and are employable in two arenas: they can repair drums for other musicians, and they can play in any capacity from a jazz trio to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
One String at a Time: String Orchestra Phase One
One String at a Time is the children's orchestra, for kids from four to 10 years old. The first group of ten kids will learn to master the guitar. It's the Center's mission to teach them to read music, which will also help them in math. The Center will add children and instruments yearly until there is an orchestra of 40 pieces, built one string at a time.
