Music Resource Center

RECORDING AND MUSIC STUDIO WILL GIVE TEENS A SAFE PLACE TO GO AFTER SCHOOL

The Music Resource Center – Cincinnati, a non-profit, will kick off it’s fundraising
efforts with “Party Like a Rock Star” on November 17th



On the whole, the city of Cincinnati is lacking in productive, high interest and motivating after school activities for teens. Taking a cue from Charlottesville, VA, the Music Resource Center – Cincinnati (MRC-Cinci) will offer teens in grades 7th – 12th a cool place to come after school where they can learn to play an instrument, record their music, rehearse with their band or dance some hip-hop. MRC-Cinci will be the first “sister” club of the Music Resource Center, which has been open in Charlottesville, VA since 1995. The two centers have the same mission: to educate and inspire young people and through music, equip them with life skills for the future. Members of the Dave Matthews Band have shown their support for MRC in Charlottesville since they opened their doors, and MRC-Cinci is very happy that local rock icon, Peter Frampton, is following their lead by being an Advisory Board member of our local center.

The Music Resource Center – Cincinnati, which will be located in Evanston, will offer memberships to students in 7th – 12th grade who are currently enrolled in local area schools. So that the members have ownership in the center, they will be asked to pay a $24 yearly membership fee (scholarships will be available for those that cannot afford the membership fee). Once they become a member, students can use our facility and participate in all of our classes for the entire year without additional fees. Our center will be open after school, Monday through Friday, and we will also be open during the summer. Each member will set their own goal and to help them achieve their goals we will offer music lessons (supplying the instruments while the students are at our facility), audio engineering classes and dance classes. MRC will have a Recording Studio, Rehearsal Rooms, Digital Project Studios and a Dance Room.


MRC-Cinci will kick-off their fundraising efforts with “Party Like a Rock Star!!” which will be held on November 17th. Guests are encouraged to “Dress Like a Rock Star” while they tour the “yet to be equipped” building and party to the tunes of “Hearsay.” The party starts at 7:00 pm and tickets cost $40 presale and $45 at the door. For more information visit their website at www.mrccinci.org.

If you would like more information about the Music Resource Center - Cincinnati, or to schedule an interview with Karen D’Agostino, MRC-Cinci’s Executive Director, call Karen at 513-544-8422 or e-mail her at kdagostino@mrccinci.org.
