Salvation Army in need of instruments for music program
Chances are if you stop by the Salvation Army's Ontario Corps Community Center you will find Ron Barksdale, 57, behind the piano. Barksdale, a Rancho Cucamonga resident was recently named the gospel arts music director.
Prior to working for the Salvation Army he performed alongside entertainers like Tina Turner, Barry White and Rick James.
As the new director Barksdale said he would to teach children how to play instruments and encourage kids to become skilled in the arts.
"It will encourage their creativity and their world view. Learning music requires discipline, they have to be accountable. It's the same thing as being in sports they have to prepare and practice," he said.
Barksdale said in order to start a community band he needs the community's help on instrument donation.
These are the instruments we're looking for to really get our music program off the ground:
