From Ascribe Newsfeed: Two Elizabethtown College students and two faculty members will travel to South Africa during Spring Break, taking with them 47 wind instruments to create a music program in a rural school. Karendra Devroop, assistant professor of music and director of music education, and Michael Roy, assistant professor of psychology, will accompany senior music education major Kim Sandifer of New Market, Md., and junior psychology major Laura Getz of Mechanicsburg, Pa., to South Africa. The trip is the culmination of the South African Music Project, which began in November when Sandifer approached Devroop about serving as advisor for her Honors in the Discipline project. Subsequent discussions with Sandifer and the passion they shared about making a difference in the lives of South African students led to the development of the South African Music Project. The principal of the school has invited all the other principals in the area in addition to several education officials to witness the establishment of the program."
