Kettering Music Alumni Josh Strange is making a difference in Cincinnati Public Schools where he and other professional musicians are brought in to “help the kids link the history of Black music in America to present pop culture.” Josh is participating in a program sponsored by the Black Music of America Program that will run through the rest of the school year. As part of the program, schools received a generous donation of instruments to their schools for kids to practice their musical skills.
