M's Music & Repair in Longmont, Colorado, is nestled between a martial arts studio and a tortilla store. The store has helped thousands of local students over years.

This week on the Regional Roundup, we’re hearing stories about music education across the region.

From a student brass band in Telluride performing the Beatles’ Abbey Road in its entirety, to the University of Utah’s Piano Outreach Program bringing lessons into the community. We’ll also visit a summer jazz camp in rural Colorado, hear from a middle and high school band teacher about the value of music in schools, and stop by a Longmont shop that keeps student instruments in working order. Tune into the Regional Roundup on KDNK.org every Thursday at 4:30 pm.
