LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A Lima youth music program gives students hands-on studio and live show experience.

"Mentoring with Music" led by Stedic Music's Jason Henderson takes kids ages 10-19 on an eight-week musical journey in discovering new talents, while focusing on personal development and mental health. Through the sounds, participants will have the chance to hit the road, featuring stops at music mega store Sweetwater in Fort Wayne, the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, and the Motown Museum in Detroit.

At the conclusion of the program, each student will have the opportunity to display what they have learned at graduation, with the possibility of earning a full-ride scholarship to music school.

"I myself, am a musician. I've been doing this for a long time, and I always see a lot of kids in the audience. Kids come up to me after the shows and want to know, how can I do that? And I want to learn that, and how can I learn how to do this? My goal now is to give back to the kids and let them learn what I've learned, and let them learn how to do music, auto engineering, graphics, video, mixing and how to do artist development. Also, we're doing live instruments too," said Henderson, CEO of Mentoring with Music.

On June 14th, students will a have a hand in the live music show production at the Lima Juneteenth Celebration. For more information, you can visit their Facebook page. Mentoring with Music is looking for Business and sponsorship partners.
