The annual Music Matters Instrument drive is on now at Coles Fine Flooring! It has been said that playing a musical instrument is great for your overall health.  It’s a great thing for your brain and makes you feel happy.  It even is said to prolong your life.  Unfortunately, many of our children are unable to learn how to develop their musical abilities due to budget cuts in education. Coles is proud to help out any way we can by collecting your gently used instruments for the Music Matters Program.  The Music Matters Program will donate all of the collected instruments to local schools in order to keep the music programs alive.  At Coles Fine Flooring, Music Matters.  Stop by one of our seven locations and donate your gently used instruments to help keep music in schools!

Every year, San Diegans are encouraged to dig into their closets, attics, garage, or under the bed, to find their old musical instruments that may be just collecting dust awaiting its next musical maestro. Donating is as easy as bringing a musical instrument to one of Cole’s seven stores and showrooms across San Diego County. Coles is proud to do its part and collected more than 200 instruments this year!

’Music Matters’ is simply another way that we are able to give back to the San Diego Community as well as further music education for young people, said Mark DeBoskey Station Manager for KSDS. “The goal of this program is to provide instruments to children who want to play music, yet might not have the financial means to buy their own.”

Look for Coles and Jazz 88.3 in May 2011 to donate instruments for next year’s drive. THANK YOU SAN DIEGO for your incredible support of this worthy cause!
