UMC programs are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.
