We had a great time checking out the amazing arts program, Crescendo Detroit! It's truly inspiring to see life's lessons taught through music. Thank you for letting us sit in and be a part of your morning!
Meet Jordan!
Meet Jordan! He has played alto saxophone for seven years. Jordan attends Wayne State University, and he's majoring in Saxophone Performance. We've had the pleasure of knowing Jordan for two years as he started lessons here in 2014. His participation in District 16's MSBOA Honors Band is what solidified his decision to major in music, and even possibly become a full time musician!
