Through our membership with the MMTA we learned of a program called MusicLink.  MusicLink, the MMTA and Schmitt Music will be sponsoring a Play-A-Thon where students gather pledges similar to  sponsored races or walks.  Pledges are made per song, so if a student’s family pledges $5 and the student plays two songs the family donates $10. 

All donations are tax deductable and a receipt will be offered.  Students of all instruments can play up to two songs apiece, in any style.  They can even play in duets!  Pledges gathered will be pooled together and used to help disadvantaged children get music lessons, access to instruments and printed music, etc. 

We have asked our students to participate in the Play-A-Thon and are hopeful that many will choose to perform.  The performance will be held at the Mall of America on May 1st and 2nd.  We are so excited to make donations to MusicLink and their very important program through the participation of our students!  If you are interested in participating, please fill out the application to participate.   To pledge donations for a student’s performance, fill out the pledge form and follow the instructions on how to submit the form and your donation.
