Under the auspices of the Lakewood Music Education Program, I recently gave a presentation at the Strand Theater in Lakewood on the Music derived from Torah & Tanach. Due to the very positive response, The Ocean County Center for the Arts, will be sponsoring the presentation again. The Ocean County Department of Public Affairs is also seeking other venues for the presentation.

The Lakewood Program is slowly gathering steam, B"H. The county and township are committed to providing the financial and physical resources for the program to serve Lakewood's 15,000 kids with kosher music education. Baruch Hashem, we know about the kids, but we need to find out more about who are the local musicians and especially those who can teach. If you live in Lakewood or Ocean County and play, please contact me at 917-709-1228 or via e-mail, ron@soundassets.com or my website, www.soundassets.com. We need to know who you are and how you might fit into the program, as performers, mentors or teachers. Many thanks to those who have contacted me already.
