Hi all,

I realize that this is a bit off the beaten path for discussion on
this list, but this could potentially be a great opportunity for youth
interested in the arts.  Several members of the student division,
including myself, are long-time students of the program, and some of
us have as many as 7 years under our belts.  I am copying the
information which was posted to the NFB music talk and the Music
Education Network for the Visually Impaired (MENVI) list serves below.
 If parents have any questions about the student experience I would be
happy to answer them, as well as to put them in touch with other
members of the student division who can also speak as seasoned members
of the program.  It's a lot of fun and a great way to learn music
skills for hobbiests and aspiring career musicians alike.

There are a couple of spaces left for the
