The Music Instrument Collection Inc. program finds used musical instruments, has them refurbished and back into the hands of local students who couldn’t otherwise obtain them.
Unearth that old flute, trumpet, violin or other instrument stashed away at your house. Buy a new instrument. Donate the instruments to the MIC program by taking them to the lobby of the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts, 7 South Potomac Street, Hagerstown, Md.
Donate money to help pay for instrument repair. Our goal is to eventually have enough money to offer student scholarships to pay for music lessons.
