For eight weeks in May, Michele teaches students in Moshi, Tanzania, Africa, how to play the clarinet. She also works with leading African conservationists to teach the young musicians about the African blackwood or mpingo tree which grows all around them. The wood from the mpingo ("musical tree") is used to make clarinets and other instruments. By playing the clarinet, they learn how vital the tree is to making musical instruments. Her visit culminates in a performance by her students for the community in Moshi. The students then plant hundreds of trees.")
