Donate Musical Instruments for Kids in Need

Play it Again!, the Manchester Community Music School initiative, begins March 23.

Manchester Community Music School is partnering with local schools and businesses for a Play it Again! Instrument Drive, according to a press statement.

The school’s goal is to get musical instruments into the hands of every child that would like to learn to play one. Check your closets, garage, attics and yes even under the bed for gently used musical instruments that are no longer being played and can find new life with a student in need.

The Instrument Drive takes place March 23, to April 3, 2015, and gently used instruments of all sorts can be dropped at one of the drop locations to be inspected, repaired and made available for future use.
