Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, create, and thrive through music, regardless of their ZIP Code or what school they attend.
What happens when a child with talent loses access to music because of their ZIP code?
That is the reality for thousands of students across America. When school budgets are cut, music is often one of the first programs to disappear. Opportunity disappears with it. One of our students Laniyah earned a $10,000 scholarship to attend Interlochen Center for the Arts summer camp. Soon after, her school's music program was eliminated. Her talent never changed. Her access did.
We partner with schools and community organizations to provide daily afterschool music instruction, instruments, mentorship, performance opportunities, and safe spaces where students can grow. By removing financial barriers, we ensure every child has access to the same opportunities to learn, create, and succeed through music.
The American Music Initiative provides free, high quality music education to children in communities where access to the arts is limited.
Through daily instruction, instruments, mentorship, and performance opportunities, we help students build confidence, discipline, creativity, and the skills needed to succeed in school and in life.
We are creating a future where every child, regardless of their ZIP code or financial circumstances, has the opportunity to experience the life changing power of music.
