For Drew, and for every student after him
Created in memory of a musician and educator who believed music should be shared, taught, and enjoyed by all.
Gina Wilkerson
Gina Wilkerson founded Drew's School of Music in honor of her son, Drew — carrying his love of music forward by putting instruments and lessons within reach of students across Hartsville.
This school exists because she believed his belief was worth continuing: that music should be shared, taught, and enjoyed by all.
Drew
A musician and educator whose belief — that music should be shared, taught, and enjoyed by all — is the reason this school exists.
Every lesson taught here, on every instrument, is part of that belief continuing on.
"Created in memory of a musician and educator who believed music should be shared, taught, and enjoyed by all."
