MusicLink Foundation "Creating musicians--one student at a time"

   I have been a teacher and coordinator with the MusicLink Foundation for 8 years now.  From the first time I heard about this organization and its mission, I was hooked.  The idea is so simple, but the results are profound.  I'm proud to be part of a nation-wide network of teachers willing to share my love of music with children who might never have the opportunity to learn an instrument.

   I'm a piano teacher and have been for over 25 years, so it wasn't a hardship to free up one half hour a week to teach a child who was eager to learn to play the piano.  It's always gratifying to see your students progress, but there's something extra there when you know you've helped a child receive something they might not have had otherwise.

   I hope many readers and "keyboard enthusiasts" will listen to the interview with the director of MusicLink and be moved to become involved.  It's a great feeling.
