Confidence. Creativity. Collaboration. These are just some of the things that improve when a child participates in structured, rigorous music education.
Multiple studies have shown that students who study music develop stronger academic skills, and in general, enjoy a higher quality of life than peers who do not have access to music education. Unfortunately, cuts to arts education budgets have left many students with minimal exposure to music education. This trend has taken an especially harsh toll on high-need students, since school-based programs are often the only opportunity they have to receive music education.

There are thousands of worthy music education programs that deserve support, and many nonprofit organizations out there doing great work in an effort to fill the void in music education for children.
Rather than reinventing the wheel, we support other nonprofits that supplement traditional classroom-based music education.
Furthermore, we support independent, community-based initiatives that provide engaging and innovative music instruction outside of the classroom.
Through this broad-based approach, we provide our donors with the confidence that their generosity offers the highest quality music education to the greatest number of underserved youth.
