Chinese musician aims to help US kids

NEW YORK - Keys of Inspiration, a program run by the Lang Lang International Music Foundation, aims to reach 30,000 low-income children in 80 public schools across the United States by 2020.

The music intervention program, which started in 2013 with only two schools and 300 students, plans to have 40 schools enroll in the program in the US as of September, reaching more than 6,000 students, according to Leszek Barwinski-Brown, CEO of LLIMF.

"Utilizing a strategic expansion plan, KOI will reach 30,000 students in 80 schools by 2020," Barwinski-Brown was cited as saying in a recent news release.
