Hello! Pinpoints’ most recent subject, Jared Field, discussed his involvement in Rachel: The Musical. He and his sister Jessie will be putting on a full production of the musical as part of the All Out Arts' 2015 Fresh Fruit Festival this July - but they need help to raise the necessary funds.

If you’re interested and able, please head over to their Indiegogo page and make a donation. Their goal is $8,000 and they’re at $2,875 - help make this happen! If you need some encouragement, watch this section of Jared’s Pinpoints episode during which he discusses Rachel: The Musical.

Jared Field is a musician and educator. I met Jared through City Year, but have been able to collaborate him on songs and at other workplaces. His perspective on the importance of openness to new sounds and new viewpoints powerfully reflects the spirit of Pinpoints.

City Year New Hampshire allowed Jared to break out of the obedience of his younger days. No longer able to rely on following a set plan, Jared dove into the challenge of improvising and doing all he could to make a difference for his students.

In this first teaser, Jared talks about picking up the instrument that would shape his musical thinking in a major way: the clarinet. After learning from a few teachers - and surprising some with his talent - Jared’s first instrument has become a part of him.
