Rock n Roll Dreams

Ever catch yourself singing in your car imagining belting those notes on the big stage?  Ever played air guitar to your favorite song?  Ever changed your fashion style to match the members of your favorite band? 

Is it safe to say we’ve all had Rock n Roll dreams at some point in our lives?  Maybe you still do today J

One of the focus areas of MiTM is music education and we’re proud to announce a new program.  Starting this fall, we will begin offering a limited number of scholarships to students with financial need at the Bloomington Rock School.  BRS is an excited business run by Ed and Kim Anderson.  Ed is well established singer/songwriter and founder of Backyard Tire Fire.  Today, when not touring or recording with his new band (Magic Box), Ed is providing an authentic rock experience for young people at BRS. 

Through MiTM’s On the Wings of Song program, financial assistance will be made available for needy applicants to attend BRS’s Songwriting Seminar.  In these sessions, Ed will work with aspiring song writers to put their thoughts, feelings, and experiences into musical expression.  A public event announcing this partnership will happen in September. 

In addition to the Songwriting Seminar, youth ages 10-17 can enroll in both individual instrument lessons as well as rock band sessions (opportunities to jam with peers under the tutoring of Ed).  Not only can students learn from a professional rock musician, at the end of each year “the band” has the opportunity to take the big stage for a public performance. 

We’ve enjoyed getting to know Ed and Kim Anderson and MiTM is very excited to help make a few of those Rock n Roll dreams come true!
