#24: Free pianos for disadvantaged kids

The positive benefits of playing music are well known. But
instruments are expensive and courses even more so. St Louis
based non-profit Pianos for People aims to eliminate these
barriers by providing both free pianos and free lessons to
children of low-income families. In this episode, executive
director Matt Brinkmann tells us how the concept works and what
impact it has on the children.
