Music feeds!
On February 18th, 75 students and family members from MMW volunteered at Feed My Starving Children in Mesa. The students got to present a check for $1,500 on behalf of all the students who practiced in the “Music Feeds” challenge and a generous donor DOUBLED the donation. This donation will help feed 17 kids for an entire year!

What is your favorite part of taking music lessons at Music Makers? The teachers are passionate about music and can relate to their student's passions allowing them to craft lessons suited to what gets me excited about music.
 
What is your favorite song to play and why? 'Oye como va'. It is a song that I've enjoyed for a long time, and learning the different parts of it has taught me different techniques that make it very rewarding to play and continue to improve with.
 
What inspired you to take music lessons? Thinking about how much fun it would be to play music that I enjoy, and improvise around that. I still would think that maybe it was too late to start but I finally decided that pushing off a decision because of that concern was never going to change anything and it was never earlier than today so I just said: "I'm doing this".
 
What is a favorite musical memory you have? Going to the HORDE festival and being exposed to great new music I would have probably not encountered via the avenues I was consuming music at the time.
 
If you could play another instrument what would it be? Flute
