Sound Bite-Charyn Harris (Lead Music Consultant from a place called home)
I am the lead music consultant for a place called home, I came to a place called home in 2000 and started developing the music department and was able to bring really great collaborations like Dedario and Berkley college of music, we now have the Berkley city music program at a place called home. That’s pretty much my job there, directing the kids and giving them great opportunities like this today. |

Sound Bite-Charyn Harris (Lead Music Consultant from a place called home)
It’s really amazing to see these kids who have insurmountable odds that are, I can’t imagine what they go through everyday. It was not the norm for many of us but I see them come through, I see them come with a smile on there face and I see them come to a place called home to learn music and really make a big change in there lives. Really having a sense of purpose, really feeling like they belong, really feeling like they are contributing and really feeling satisfied and I’m just so happy to give that to another human being; there’s no better feeling in the world. |

Sound Bite-Charyn Harris (Lead Music Consultant from a place called home)
This is so important as Kenny said he’s a product of public schools and the music department in the public schools and how much it made an impact in his life. Dedario has always been so supportive of a place called home and we are so amazingly grateful to have them support our kids this way. This means so much to these kids, to put instruments in their hands to give them teachers, to really help to nurture them, and someday they will reach back and do the same thing. So it’s just so really, it just so amazing, it’s just almost surreal to be standing here right now…talks…Absolutely absolutely, a place called home a lot of the donations are private donors we do write grants for the department. We seek out as many opportunities as we can. And that’s where I come in to make sure that I can, that these kids can see people like Kenny, can talk to them, can be inspired, that’s really important. That’s really what inspired me to become a musician and enabled me to travel around the world playing music. So I know what it did for me as a youth, and to give the same thing to these kids is such a priceless gift and to have Kenny involved and Dedario to pull everything all together we are just so amazingly grateful. |

Sound Bite-Devin Williams (father of a student)
As a father, extremely important you know, my son has been playing for about six years and really enjoying it. I don’t play anything, all I do is play support and I’ve tried to give my son different opportunities and a place called home has been wonderful. |

Sound Bite-Devin Williams (father of a student)
Yeah, he got a music scholarship last summer, for their five week program and really enjoyed going out to Boston and he auditioned again in Boston and got another scholarship to come back this summer and so we are also applying him for the fall of 08 for him to go fulltime as well…talks…no no…talks…it would not have been possible for him to do that without a place called home so, it’s been real exciting. |
