Institute, LAUSD present P120 keyboard to music program at Rancho Dominguez Prep

Practicing can be a lot more enjoyable—and productive—given a proper instrument! The Institute was pleased to present a donated electric keyboard to the music program at Rancho Dominguez Preparatory School this week. Institute West Coast Director Daniel Seeff presented the instrument to Rancho Dominguez band director Karin Lopez, along with LAUSD Beyond the Bell Branch Music and Entertainment Coordinator Tony White.

The keyboard, a Yamaha P120, was generously donated by Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance alumnus Glenn Tucker and offered to Rancho Dominguez at the suggestion of White and LAUSD. The donation will provide practice and performance opportunities to the school’s eager music students.

Many thanks to Glenn for his generous donation, and many happy hours of practice to the young musicians at Rancho Dominguez!
