Gifts of the Heart

    One woman deeply committed to bringing violin lessons to underprivileged children has created an enormous ripple effect of gifts of the heart!

    Martha Shackford has established The Portland Suzuki Project (PSP) a non-profit benefit organzation to fund violin lessons for elementary school students in underprivileged areas. At this time Beach Elementary School in North Portland has 61 kindergarteners and first graders studying violin 4 days a week and is funded through the PSP. Each year the next kindergarten class will begin lessons and all other grades will continue.

    Celestine Fitzgerald in 1996 founded Barcel Brioso. a Wisconsin based advanced group of violin students. Brioso's mission: encourage and motivate young students and their families by sharing music through concert tours and workshops.

     These devoted violin teachers have touched so many hundreds of people through their vision, passion and dedication. Bring it all together? Absolutely!

     In addition to raising funds for the PSP to fund the Beach School, you must know that the Barcel Brioso kids are raising their own funding for their trip to Oregon. Kids helping kids, teachers helping teachers, teachers helping kids...there is no end in sight to the gifts that abound!
