5th Grader Inspired by Sweet Sweet Jazz
Kendall Ceh, a fifth grade student at Mars Area Centennial School, was inspired to create an art project after attending TJ Arts’ production of Sweet Sweet Jazz in October. The project was done with paper shapes and is based on “The Three Musicians” by Picasso.
Matteo Music Scholarship featured in the South Hills Record
Our newest scholarship, the Matteo Music Scholarship, was created this fall through the generous donation of Joseph Matteo. Read more about it in this article from the South Hills Record by clicking here.
Is Music the Key to Success?
We believe that studying music, or any of the arts, has a multitude of benefits. Read this article from the New York Times about the influence that the study of music had on successful people like Condoleeza Rice, Alan Greenspan, and Paula Zahn.
