When Major Chords for Minors of Bay City won a CARE grant recently from Hemlock Semiconductor Operations (HSC), it meant that students could continue their love for music virtually.
The grant will help the organization provide free private instrument instruction to children in grades 3-12 throughout 2021 by covering the cost of providing Zoom subscriptions for 92 students as well as microphones for teaching virtual music lessons. Major Chords for Minors also will use the money to give instruments to children and provide studio space for practice. In addition, a stipend will be available to support local musicians.

EDITOR’S NOTE – The Barley MacTavish Fund accepts letters from Midland County residents about themselves or other people, explaining why they need help and what they have tried to do about their problems. Write to Barley, care of the Midland Area Community Foundation, 76 Ashman Circle, Midland, MI 48640 or call (989) 839-9661. Be sure to include a daytime telephone number and email address. Names of applicants are never published.
There is no real Barley MacTavish. This fund was established by an anonymous donor and is being continued with private financial support, plus donations from area residents during the holiday season. The project has been undertaken to help make Midland a little better place to live. Letters to Barley are not from actual applicants, but do represent typical requests.
