Our Impact

Building a Musical Life

OUR impact is YOUR impact and together we are helping children build a musical life for themselves.

We play music for change in 5 key areas

LIFE SKILLS

Music is our means to teach kids vital social and other life skills.

Well-being

We nurture the whole person: food for the body, music for the soul, each other for human connection.

HAPPINESS

Music is a gateway to joy. As children grow in self-esteem and overcome barriers, they experience the ineffable but real beauty of life itself.

Education

Music develops the intellect, including in literacy and math.

COMMUNITY-MINDEDNESS

Choirs and orchestras are microcosms of community life where kids learn they are a vital part of a larger whole.

“I’ve found my voice and confidence knowing that I can do something and get there on my own.”
