Parkland musical haven in desperate need of repairs
For the musically inclined, the Blue House in the Parkland neighborhood is a haven.
The home, however, is in desperate need of repairs.
맥스카지노(It) has changed my life,맥스카지노 Trenton Claypool said.
More than 300 students have walked the halls of the home since Keith Cook started teaching lessons there in 1997.
The courses are complimentary for beginners with a devoted director.
맥스카지노I've had so many kids grow up in the program and see what it has done for them,맥스카지노 Cook said.
Cook, who instructs through the nonprofit West Louisville Talent Education Center, plays six instruments, but he's particularly drawn to the violin and so are his students.
맥스카지노It got me into high school and it got me into college,맥스카지노 former student-turned volunteer Kenneth Wilson said.
Wilson returned to volunteer as a junior at the University of Louisville School of Music
맥스카지노With music, I've just been positive and it's influenced me to do the best that I can,맥스카지노 Wilson said.
The Blue House, though is not at its best. It's in desperate need of repair.
Among the problems, the pipes leak, the floors need to be fixed, the main practice room needs expanding and the concrete is cracking.
The children who learn there don't see all that.
맥스카지노It's a little damaged, but it's still a good place to practice,맥스카지노 Claypool said.
All Cook sees is promise.
맥스카지노Every kid has talent and it extends beyond just music talent. When I see the kids walking around, I see the potential,맥스카지노 Cook said.
The Blue House is trying to raise $50,000 to make all of the repairs.
