Reson8r Project
Music project gives an opportunity to experience playing musical instruments and composing your own songs.
Thanks to a grant from the Community Learning Partnership we were able to purchase musical instruments for our youth to experiment with and over a period of several weeks they gained new skills and composed their own songs.
