WAPS/91.3FM The Summit, The Akron Public Schools, and Taylor Band & Orchestra, presents Music Alive, a program to help young musicians in our local schools realize their dreams and learn the joys of playing an instrument.

So do YOU have an unloved, dusty and forgotten musical instrument in your attic, closet or basement? There are dozens of kids who’d love the chance to learn to play it…kids whose families simply can’t afford the expense of buying their child a musical instrument.

Through Music Alive, The Summit and Taylor Band & Orchestra will collect and repair instruments and see they get placed in the hands of kids who will truly appreciate them

In Summit County, contact WAPS/91.3FM Music Alive APS Coordinator Marilyn Stroud at 330-761-3099 or email her at musicalive@913thesummit.com. And let’s keep the MUSIC ALIVE for a new generation.

In Stark County instruments will be refurbished, and then delivered to children in Canton City Schools. Contact WAPS/91.3FM The Summit Janelle Schmidt 330-806-6520, or janelle@913thesummit.com.
