We exist to nurture a love for music in K-12 youth by providing exceptional and accessible music education through community support and advocacy.

The Problem:
Access to quality music education is inequitable. Lessons and instruments are costly, transportation adds another financial burden, and parents must often prioritize essential expenses like utility bills over music lessons. Additionally, music teachers are underpaid, under-resourced, and often required to teach outside their expertise, leading to burnout and many leaving the profession.

The Solution:
We eliminate barriers to music education by partnering with the community to provide low- or no-cost music education programming, instruments and supplies when needed, and resources for students, parents, and teachers alike. Our community partners provide additional support* such as transportation, meals, homework help and tutoring, and additional enrichment activities.

*Support levels vary based on location.

Corporate Matching Gifts
