By Steve Sears 1-year-old Dr. Patricio Molina has accomplished many things, including attending college classes for music at the age of four. However, perhaps his biggest thrill is getting instruments to individuals who want to learn to play them but can’t afford them. Molina is the co-founder and president of Notes for Growth Inc., a non-profit foundation that gives musical instruments to underprivileged children. He explains its purpose. “In 2018, one of the things I noticed is that a lot of people in this area want to get rid of their pianos, either because they want to play an electronic keyboard, which is easier to move and it’s more flexible, or because no one’s playing the piano, so they just want to get rid of it.” He also noticed that there were a lot of people that needed pianos, especially students that could not afford the instrument, so he wanted to find a way to connect both sides and has. “We’ve sent three shipments of pianos to Chile, we have given a few pianos here in this area, and we’re looking to expand with other instruments as well, which we will send to the Dominican Republic, to Puerto Rico, and hopefully will expand to the Middle East as well.” A Carnegie Hall concert is scheduled for October 15, 2021 to support the non-profit. “I was born in Chile, but my mom is from Syria, so I’m half Arabic, half Chilean,” Molina says of his background. “I learned how to write and read music before I learned how to write and read Spanish, which is my native language. So, my first language was always music, and even before I was conscious of knowing, I was already playing music.”

That’s what he wants, just to hear different sounds. And I’m told by my parents that’s what I did, and my dad wanted to take advantage of all the time that I was spending on the piano. I picked it up so quickly that, he began to look for teachers that would teach me music, and there were not many willing to take on a three-yearold student,” he says. However, the University of Chile was, and at age four, continued on page 4
