The young musicians, who range in age from 3-year-old preschoolers to 15-year-old high school students, study piano in Zinn Piano Academy studios in Dublin, California, and Batavia, Illinois. They contributed performances of classical, jazz and Halloween-themed pieces to benefit those who continue to be affected by last year's Gulf Coast region hurricanes. (PRWeb Sep 12, 2006)
