In this Feb. 17, 2014 photo, 11-year-old Tyrone Muirhead, right, is plays the trumpet with the band at the Alpha Boys’ School, a residential vocational school in Kingston, Jamaica. The school has been a cornerstone of Jamaica’s prolific musical culture for over a century, producing numerous musicians who have taken the homegrown musical genres of ska, rocksteady and reggae to the world. But despite its outsized role in developing Jamaica’s world-famous music, the school is increasingly squeezed between rising costs and shrinking state support, barely scraping by on the $60 weekly the government provides per student.
