One Note At A Time brings professional music education to Haitian students living in rural mountain towns. In addition to preparing students for a potential musical career, these classes create a pass-time to deter children from taking to the streets and joining local gangs. Music is a stress-releasin g activity that promotes good habits. One Note At A Time also provides English classes and is affiliated with One Block At A Time, an organization that builds houses for the families and friends of these music students.
