Absolute Music Makes Harrison Fun Fair Absolutely Fantastic

Jacob Fairbank, a local Geneva business owner and former Harrison Street School graduate, has donated a Fender electric guitar with amplifier and a Yamaha electronic keyboard along with free music lessons back to Harrison Street School for their local  to be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 19.

Fairbank has harnessed much of his youthful enthusiasm and maintained a great passion for music. Because of that, he has called upon several of his companions in the local music scene to help him "orchestrate" the fundraising effort. He has assembled a "dream team" of educators with formal education in music technology and performing arts as well as "real world" working musician experience, all of whom realize the importance of musical programs for youth.

"Here at Absolute Music, we strive to raise the bar for status quo in youth music education," Fairbank said. "We combine proven traditional teaching methods with the latest in technology to create aninspiring, creative, and most importantly, a fun environment for our students."

Absolute Music has a fully-equipped recording studio, band rehearsal space, and amazing technology—including Apple iPads in every lesson room with fun musical educational apps to help them achieve their goal.

The entire community is welcome at the Saturday fun fair at .  The day of family activities includes games, face painting, a 50/50 raffle, children's raffle, silent auction and live auction.

Some of the generous donations in addition to Jacob's generous gifts include a Patrick Kane-autographed hockey stick, a night at Trump Towers downtown Chicago, one-day hopper passes to Disney Theme Park Orlando, tickets to the Kennedy Space Center, a necklace and earrings from State Street Jewelers, and a weekend stay at a home in Galena.
