Mission

We bring children together in teams of music learners and makers, to develop their minds, imagination and community. We seek to honor and strengthen the promising elements already present in children's lives: the network of caring adults, and the desire to develop skills that open new doors for them. To this we add proven curricula, fine instruments, opportunities to travel beyond accustomed surroundings, and instruction at no cost to families, provided by professional teaching artists.
