TheClassicalStation.org Makes Possible Summer Music Program
(PRWEB) August 28, 2014
Tara Lynn, Chair of the WCPE Education Fund, announces a grant in the amount of $3,000.00 to the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club of Greensboro for the funding of their music education program. This grant goes toward continuing and expanding their pilot summer music program throughout the academic year with the purchase of keyboards and other instruments. WCPE Radio, http://www.theclassicalstation.org, is a non-profit, listener-supported classical music radio station which advocates for musical enrichment throughout the community through the Education Fund.
“This program has benefited our kids and their communities immensely,” says Keith Miller, PhD, the head of the music program at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greensboro. “This program has provided the opportunity to learn about classical music. As a result, we have seen positive change in behavior, character and sense of community.”
The WCPE Education Fund exists through the donations of WCPE Radio, 89.7 FM. Members of the station can appropriate 10% of their donation toward the Education Fund which promotes learning and musical experiences in the community. Over the last several years, WCPE has granted over $10,000. The annual deadline to apply for a grant is March 31. This is the first in a series of four grants issued this year by the listener-supported classical music radio station.
