COME PLAY WITH US: Sharon Sadry, Jani Frerichs, and Justus Raepple are the faces behind U of T’s chapter of MusicBox Children’s Charity, which was founded by a pair of U of T students in 2002.
MusicBox runs weekly music classes at community centres in underpriviledged neighbourdhoods, such as Regent Park and Scadding Court. One class invovles music appreciation, where MusicBox volunteers jam with kids on instruments from a large suitcase that they lug along.
The U of T chapter was started in September, and this month it is expanding its reach with three more pilot projects with partner organizations in the city. They’re always looking for more volunteers to share share their passion for music, said chapter president Frerichs, a second-year international relations student at Trinity College. “The idea is to grow,” she said.
