Whittier Elementary School third grader, Fikir Teklemedhin, plays the piano for her music teacher, Melanie Witbeck, during class at the Salt Lake City school. The school is losing its federal Title I  funding next year, and a school-wide music program is threatened  by the loss. It gives every Whittier student a chance to learn music with an emphasis on the piano.
