Jody Joseph’s Heartstrings Comes To Asbury Park School

Two area nonprofits have joined forces to offer music education to students at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Asbury Park.
The groups are Tinton Falls-based Heartstrings Incorporated and Red Bank-based Friendship Train Foundation.

The latter has been working with the over 90-year-old private K through 8 Catholic school since 2011.
Through their collaborative All Stars after-school learning and enrichment program, students are given every opportunity to discover their talents and interests, and build self-esteem as they strive to achieve their dreams, Program Manager Melissa Halk said.
New to the table, will be Jody Joseph’s Heartstrings program, which administers music education workshops.
Joseph is a veteran singer-songwriter, who just happens to be Jon Bon Jovi’s cousin. She launched her music enrichment Heartstrings program over a year ago.
The program will run for two 8-week sessions, beginning on April 10 at the Asbury Avenue located school. Twenty-five 6th to 8th grade students will be chosen to participate in a choral and piano tutorial program, with an end of year showcase already slated for June.
