Turning children on to classical music<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Dr. Warren Woodruff aka Dr. Fuddle shares his joy of classical music with children through scholarships and books.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pianist, musicologist and author Dr. Warren Woodruff of Buckhead is a man on a mission: to instill a new generation with a love of classical music. A teacher for the last 30 years, he spreads his message wherever he goes and volunteers to help students with extraordinary talent.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Woodruff endowed The Dr. Fuddle Music Scholarship to the Atlanta Music Club. The award was named after the hero of his children\u2019s novels. Woodruff was instrumental in raising funds to develop a music therapy program at Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), as well as helping the hospital\u2019s Tower of Talent event raise more than $1 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen firsthand how transformative and healing classical music can be,\u201d Woodruff says. \u201cIt gives children joy and carries them through tough times. The power of music is the most untapped resource on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Magic Piano, a play written by Woodruff, debuted in Atlanta in 1999 and was so well received that he expanded it into a fantasy novel and screenplay titled Dr. Fuddle and the Gold Baton. A sequel to the book, a feature film and toys will debut this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the story, children go to a magical land where the great composers live and learn how to solve real world problems through music and nonviolence,\u201d Woodruff says. The book is available on Amazon.com.<\/p>\n
