Music is Good for You
This year, we've been especially aware of the gifts perfoming music has given us. It’s uplifted our spirits, provided comfort, fueled our creativity, sharpened our focus, and instilled humility. Music has also given us a sense of community and a way to connect with others through shared experiences. We are thankful for these opportunities and passionate about passing on the gift of music education to future generations. Thank you for supporting live music, we are daily grateful.
Any investment in music education is a good one in our opinion but we have also learned about, and are donating to, three exceptional organizations dedicated to giving the gift of music to the next generation. While each has its own unique approach, they all share a common commitment to providing consistent rehearsal and class opportunities. We know from personal experience the benefits of this continuity—support, community, and mentorship—are immeasurable. Thank you to these great programs and people for their dedication and commitment.
