Long time Cleveland resident Jaette Carpenter has finally achieved something she has wanted to do for about 40 years. With the help of co-founder Ellie Fregni and more, they set up a Non Profit Music Education Cooperative called Hopewell Music Cooperative – North. Her goal was to set this up for North side students, to fulfill an unmet need of formal private music lesson regardless of economic level and much more for the community of North Minneapolis. Currently about half of the students are taught free of charge, the other 1/2 are discounted. In a couple week’s they’ll host a great fundraiser. Information about the event below:
