JR BAND INTERVIEW AT RX RADIO

The Jazz Yard Academy Junior band doing an interview at The Red Cross Children's hospital for RX Radio. Both radio presenters are patients at The Red Cross Hospital. The interview was focused on the change that music can bring to the average Joe. It also focused on the positive effects of music. For some it is an escape from their daily routine of medication and hardships. Music unites us all both able bodied and physically challenged. Music is a universal language and here at the Jazz Yard Academy our slogan is SPREAD THE LOVE
