Betty Perry's trip to New York part 1

Betty Perry had the opportunity to travel to New York City this week with friends and family of the MYO program. She took in a concert featuring MYO alumnus Jameel Martin and checked in with another MYO alumnus Krystal Ford who works for the Noel Pointer Foundation.

Check out a brief interview with Jameel at The American Viola Society: http://americanviolasociety.org/studio/2012/12/introducing-jameel-martin/
