Penny–A–Minute Fundraiser!

DEMTA is celebrating 30 years of service to students, teachers and community! We are raising funds to have a piano piece commissioned for our 30th anniversary celebration. This will be written specifically in honor of our 30th year and will be dedicated to us. We are so excited to have new music written just for us! Your donation helps pay for the commission and any extra funds will be used to pay for scholarships and upkeep of our Mason & Hamlin piano. Thank you for participating! Contact us with any questions about this event.
