Music lesson scholarships available for youths




The Grand Marais Music Collaborative (GMMC) is looking for students and instructors to participate in a youth music lesson program beginning in January. After school lessons will be taught in the CCHS band room by talented area instructors and will benefit area youth ages 12 and up. All instructors will be screened and available for interviews to find the best match for each student based on skill levels, an instrument of choice, and other areas of compatibility.

A 10-week course of lessons is $400. Grant funds are available for scholarships. Students will need to commit to a 10-lesson program and are encouraged to continue playing after the program is over either in a solo setting or in groups. Instructors are currently available for jazz guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, ukulele, upright bass, voice, flute, and other instruments.

Spaces and scholarships are limited. Go to www.thegmmc.org. Print and fill out the applications and mail it to GMMC at P.O. Box 123. There are applications due January 15.

For more information call Karina Roth, lesson coordinator, at 218-387-1876.
