Orange County Register Writes About Our Center!
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/instruments-center-children-2190540-arts-guitars# Thursday, October 9, 2008 Strum, drum, dream: Donation means kids can play Exhibitor sends drums, horns, guitars to Santa Ana center. By ERIC CARPENTER The Orange County Register Comments 1 | Recommend 3 SANTA ANA – In the eight years since the Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center opened, plenty of music teachers have been willing to teach children how to play drums, guitar and saxophone. The problem: a severe shortage of instruments. That all changed this afternoon when a semi-tractor trailer arrived carrying 45 new instruments, including two drum sets, acoustic guitars, and brass and woodwind instruments. All for free. "Wow," said Daniella Cervantes, 11, as she got her first look at the shiny instruments lined up on tables. "It's very nice and it looks artistic. Now we'll all get a chance to play." The donation came from a San Francisco Bay-area convention
