Introducing the Denny Frey Scholarship Fund! 🥳

RMF is pleased to announce the establishment of a new scholarship honoring Dennis "Denny" Frey, a longtime low brass musician, private teacher, and dedicated member of the Boyertown music community.

The scholarship was established by former student, fellow low brass player, and friend, Mark Brumbach, and his family. It will provide financial assistance for elementary and middle school students studying low brass instruments through private lessons. 👏🏻

RMF is grateful to Mark and the Brumbach family, who established this scholarship in Denny's honor, and for the opportunity to celebrate a musician and educator whose influence can be heard in generations of Berks County musicians! 🎶
