The program will provide opportunity for artistic expression through music and demonstrate the role of arts in the public library. The program will also increase access for school-aged youth to play musical instruments and participate in performing arts.
The program provided school-age participants free (affordable) opportunities to learn how to play musical instruments, participate in the performing arts, and interact with a working artist in their community. The program also increased youth's exposure to the professional performing arts.
