2 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2005 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.

Dec. 2 & 3 at 7pm. Dec. 3 & 4 at 2pin © Progress Energy j 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 ■ The final showing of Lab!

Admission is free. 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. Carolina Music Outreach con 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.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. ■ Play Makers Repertory Company’s production of “String of Pearls” by Michele Lowe con tinues at 8 p.m. today in the Paul Green Theatre, located in the Center for Dramatic Art on Country Club Road.
