Piano lessons to help a little girl create joy through music

Posted Mar 29, 2017
Since the beginning of her placement in her forever family's home, Alyssa has been drawn to the household's piano. Alyssa's mom explains that despite having been through more in her short years than most adults have in their entire life, Alyssa has always had a happy disposition and has turned to music to get her through tough times. Alyssa was blessed with a beautiful voice and an ear for music. She is a member of a children's choir, has sung in three Christmas plays at church, and had her first solo this past Christmas! Alyssa takes saxophone lessons at school, but continues to long for piano lessons. Her love for the piano has even enabled her to pick out tunes to play by ear. Alyssa's parents believe that piano lessons would be an enormous gift to Alyssa, giving her new ways to express her emotions constructively and creatively. We are looking for someone to help provide Alyssa with her first session of piano lessons at her local music center. We are so proud of Alyssa, and want to help her continue to turn her thoughts and feelings into beautiful music.

Alyssa is 16 years old and lives in PA

Alyssa is a little girl who by the time she was six years old, had overcome more than most adults have in their entire lives. Despite this, Alyssa is a happy girl with a soul full of beautiful music.
