Group shares sound of music
BY JACKI SPIES
STAFF WRITER
Every weekday afternoon the
sounds of musical chords echo out
of the United Methodist Church on
Franklin Street.
The melodies aren’t from the
church orchestra but rather are
produced by elementary and mid
dle school children who, thanks to
the Carolina Music Outreach, are
given the opportunity to learn how
to play instruments.
“It’s a student organization that
pairs up student volunteers that
want to teach elementary and mid
dle school kids that can’t afford to
pay for music lessons,” said Mark
Frank, co-president of the organi
zation.
Frank said the organization typi
cally has about 12 to 24 volunteers
who teach music to kids between 6
and 14 years old.
For a small fee of $lO to cover
the cost of books and other neces
sities, children are taught to play
instruments including the piano,
violin and the banjo. Voice lessons
also are given.
“Volunteers are provided with
books and rooms, and they con
duct the lessons themselves once
we pair them up,” Frank said.
Gail Hernandez, an 11-year-old
student at Phillips Middle School,
recently started taking piano les
sons through the Carolina Music
Outreach program.

Hernandez chose to take piano
lessons because of previous expe
rience she had with the instru
ment.
“I tried to take piano lessons
when I was younger, and then my
teacher decided to quit teaching,”
she said.
“And it was something I wanted
to do since I was a little kid.”
In addition to the piano,
Hernandez has experience in the
woodwinds section as well.
“I already play the clarinet, and
it’s fun to learn a different instru
ment,” she said.
Carolina Music Outreach,
founded by Christine Moseley,
originally was created as a
branch of the Carolina Hispanic
Association to teach Spanish
speaking children how to play
musical instruments.
“Christine Moseley knew
Spanish and saw how expensive
music lessons were,” said Natalie
Mattocks, co-president of the out
reach program.
“She thought it would be a great
opportunity to give time back to
the community.”
Now in its third year, the pro
gram has expanded its target popu
lation and is beginning to pick up
speed. Frank said there were 25
student volunteers at last year’s
final recital.
He estimates that this year the
organization probably will need

between 20 and 30 volunteers.
Although the organization has
made great progress, Mattocks said
there are some obstacles that still
hinder its development.
Frank said that as students
continue to yearn for music, the
program needs people to donate
instruments.
“It makes a huge difference in
a child’s progress if they have an
instrument to practice on, and
since we are targeting a demo
graphic that usually can’t afford
one, it would really help,” he said.
Hernandez said she does not
have a piano at home but practices
on a keyboard.
Mattocks said another difficulty
the organization faces is a lack of
practice space.
“There are only certain rooms
they allow us to use at certain times
of the day,” she said.

tinues to grow, and members said
they are always looking for more
volunteers.
People interested in volunteer
ing should look at the application
available at www.unc.edu/cmo.
“We are continually trying to
pair students up with volunteers,
and we keep growing,” Mattocks
said. “As many as we get we will
try to pair them up.”
