A Texas Teenager Goes Miles For Music

There’s a young woman in the Dallas area who is introducing at risk and low-income kids to classical music through a program called Miles for Music.  Emma Fossum, a 17-year-old high school student says the idea for the free program started with her youngest sister, who is autistic. 

Fossum, a pianist and a beauty queen has been traveling to schools in North Texas presenting the program for the last 8 months.  She’s hoping to expand the program statewide and maybe nationally.
