Music Educator Andy Mackie Talks About New Fall Music Program At Chimacum High School

The Andy Mackie Foundation provides Free Instruments, Free Lessons and Scholarships to any child who wants to learn. He has helped more than 1000 children learn to play stringed instruments which he builds in his shop, taught more than 12,000 children to play harmonica and given over 75 scholarships to graduating seniors. At Fiddle Tunes, Andy had a workshop booth that allowed kids to build their own instruments and learn how to play them. Next fall, Chimacum High School may launch a nationwide instrument/instructional model program funded by a private donor that will be a giant step toward achieving Andy's dream of providing children opportunities to learn to play music.
