Concerts motivated youth to learn instruments
We wanted (to let Mr. Dean Prigmore, president of the Auburn Community Concert Association) know how much Auburn Community Concerts have enriched our family. We have been attending these concerts for approximately the last seven years. We had to leave at intermission when our kids were younger because they sometimes got bored. They are now 11, 13 and 15 years old and enjoy the whole show.
The last concert of the 2007 season featured a wonderful guitarist named Muriel Anderson. Her concert motivated our daughter who was 12 at the time to come home and start practicing her father’s guitar. She has now surpassed him in skill and he is very proud of her. This motivated her older brother to start playing the guitar and he is also doing very well. He has also started playing the banjo since then.
So we wanted (Mr. Prigmore) to know that (his) concerts do more than entertain people, they motivate children to pick up an instrument and learn it! Please keep up the great work!

Mr. & Mrs. West,
Thank you so much for your wonderful letter. The Board of Directors and the many volunteers of the Auburn Community Concert Association who make these concerts (and occasional school outreach programs as well) possible are always gratified when our audiences directly benefit from the musicians' performances. Our goal since 1945 has been to bring world-class entertainment to our rural community at a reasonable price. We continue to do that each concert season. If any of your friends and neighbors need more information about the Auburn Community Concert Association, please feel free to have them visit our website at http://www.auburncommunityconcerts.org or contact me at (530) 878-7236. Again, thanks for the heartfelt letter and best wishes for your children's continued musical success.

Thanks, Roy and Tamra West for sharing your story, I hope to hear your daugher play sometime.
Thank you also to the Auburn Community Concert Association for inviting me to perform for you. It's a lovely community you have, and the concert association is top notch. It's encouraging to see, and to hear from time to time of how it's appreciated.
Much music and happiness to you,
Muriel Anderson
