First community service

Title: Fee drum tutorials

During my recent semester break, I visited Cape Coast and noticed a group of children in my hood with a keen interest in playing musical instruments. Recognizing an opportunity to give back to the community, I organized free drum tutorials for them at the local church.

The plan is to teach both drums and horns, but I haven't been able to start the horns. Despite this, the children showed great enthusiasm for drumming, I have been teaching them since I got home, and I will continue to teach them throughout my break till school resumes. My goal is not only to impart musical skills but also to educate them on the importance and advantages of music education, as well as potential career opportunities.

I am writing to share my experience with you and highlight the impact that such initiatives can have on young minds. I intend to continue the tutorials until I resume school, and I have encouraged the kids to invite their friends who share similar interests.

Thank you for your time, and I believe this project goes a long way to have positive and great impact on the young ones.

Best regards,Leonard Nketsiah
