HAMMOND – First Guaranty Bank is once again providing support to the Southeastern
Louisiana University Community Music School.
“First Guaranty Bank’s continued support is of vital importance in keeping instrumental
music education affordable to students of all walks of life,” said Community Music
School Director Jivka Duke. “During the past 12 years the sponsorship has enabled
numerous students in our community to take music instrument lessons at discounted
tuition rates, and we are pleased to be able to continue offering this option.”
Duke said that partners like First Guaranty Bank play an important role in preserving
the quality of programs, such as the Community Music School, and in making them accessible
and affordable to everyone.
The Community Music School, located on the Southeastern campus and its satellite
location at the Livingston Parish Literacy and Technology Center in Walker, offers
music instruction on various instruments and voice for children and adults of all
ages.
In addition to private music lessons, Duke said, the Community Music School will
offer a Chamber Music Workshop this summer.
