This is of great aid to us in our goal to continue expansion without compromising our high standards of teaching.

Our wonderful sponsor, Jones Day Law Firm, filed and obtained the Musical Angels trademark.

New Website: Check Out Their Stories
You can now hear about the joy we bring these children with your help, directly from our teachers.
Here is Tatyana’s story. Check out our website for more like hers.
When fellow teacher Ms. Rigotti and I arrived at the playroom where we do Musical Angels, a 16-year old girl named Tatyana was already sitting in her wheelchair at the keyboard waiting for her lesson. She was very excited to show me the song she had practiced all week. Tatyana never played the piano before we met and she even thought that piano was boring! Now, she loves the piano and has never been happier to been proven wrong. Since she mastered the song from the previous week I assigned her “Ode to Joy” by Beethoven. I always teach that song as soon as I can because it is so appropriate. Tatyana was thrilled to already be playing a piece by the Beethoven and learned the right hand right then. Before I left, she had struggled through the left hand part and could now play with both hands!
Old Red First Annual Giving Tree
Musical Angels was chosen as one of three local non-profits to benefit from the Old Red Museum’s First Annual Giving Tree.
Donation boxes are on display until January 11th. The Giving Tree coincides with their special exhibit: Vintage Toys from the 1880s to 1980s featuring all our old favorites including Barbie and Lincoln Logs!
