Episode 3: Beginnings: Instructional Program for Youth

from Talkin’ Music: Celebrating 50+ Years of the Willis C. Patterson Our Own Thing Chorale | Ann Arbor District Library

In the 1960’s Dr. Patterson noticed a lack of participation from students of color in Ann Arbor’s public school music programs, an issue that still persists today. He founded the Our Own Thing Instructional Program to provide free instruments, instruction, and support for local youth. In this episode, we hear a lively discussion between Dr. Patterson and Sylvia Harmon, one of his earliest students.
