As some of you know, I work at the Community Music School of Springfield, MA as a Music Therapist. Next month is the annual Concerto Grosso fundraising event at Barnes and Noble in Holyoke.

The way it works is that each student has to raise at least $40 in order to perform. My students have special needs, and while one of them will probably have no problem getting the money together for her performance, the other may not. (Some of you know of her, she's the one with Autism and perfect pitch, who makes me change keys on the fly) If anyone has $5 or $10 to donate, it would be really cool. (But PLEASE don't donate if you don't have it to spare! I know some of you will want to, but you need it more than the school!) The donation goes to scholarships at the music school for kids who don't have funding for lessons or music therapy sessions. I just really want them to have a chance to perform, because they both love it so much. Here is a link to the Concerto Grosso brochure.

Also, if anyone wants to come and see my girls in action, you can come to the event. And, for all money spent at Barnes and Noble that day a percent will be donated to the school.
