SHE IS ONE OF MANY STUDENTS WHO

62
00:02:11,533 --> 00:02:17,800

THROUGH OUR PROGRAM, THEY HAVE

68
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,933
GOTTEN MUSIC SCHOLARSHIPS BUT

69
00:02:25,633 --> 00:02:31,433

ALL KINDS OF GOALS.

72
00:02:31,433 --> 00:02:38,633

73
00:02:33,533 --> 00:02:38,966
TIME BUT THEY TAUGHT CHILDREN TO

74
00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:40,900
FALL IN LOVE WITH ALL TYPES OF

75
00:02:38,633 --> 00:02:42,700
MUSIC.

76
00:02:38,966 --> 00:02:47,000
>> WE DO OLD SCHOOL MUSIC AND

77
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:48,566

00:02:48,566 --> 00:02:54,666
PARENTS WOULD LOVE IT.

81
00:02:50,133 --> 00:02:55,966
SO NOW, THEY UNDERSTAND THE

82
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:57,366
REASON WHY WE STARTED TEACHING

83
00:02:54,666 --> 00:02:59,100

84
00:02:55,966 --> 00:03:00,700
THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHERE

00:02:57,366 --> 00:03:02,833
THEY CAME FROM.

86
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:04,766
HOW MUSIC STARTED.
