Our mission was to strengthen student's practice habits while supporting MTNA in its effort to raise funds for teachers affected by the Hurricane Katrina Disaster. Many teachers lost their entire studio when the hurricane hit. Lots of students lost their music and instruments and missed many lessons. Students found sponsors (mom, dad, family, friends, neighbors, teachers) who pledged a certain amount of money for each minute of practice. |
