Augusto Ulloa for The SFCPA

What The SFCPA means to me

The SFCPA is a great place for kids to learn all about percussive instruments in a supportive, educational, and fun environment.  In addition to teaching the technical aspects of playing percussion instruments, the teachers also emphasize the importance of collaboration and teamwork, helping students learn to work together to create and engage rhythms and melodies.  Overall, the SFCPA is an excellent choice for parents who want their children to learn about music in a supportive, engaging, and creative environment.

What You Are Funding

At the heart of founding the South Florida Center for Percussive Arts, was deciding its location to be West Kendall, a geographic area lacking in free and low cost arts programs serving children beyond the school day. 

They are increasing our capacity to serve more children and families in South Florida! Just this Fall, they started a Samba Drum program at Jack D. Gordon Elementary and are finalizing the details to do the program at a second school. The RhythmFun! program & number of private students has grown exponentially in the last couple of years, the Free Friday Drum Jam has been consistently reaching max capacity numbers and they are being asked to perform and provide drumming activities weekly. 

We need your help to support the demand of their programming. 100% of proceeds will go towards providing instruments/materials for school & after school programs, creating new opportunities for children to study, perform and enjoy music through percussion and a 2024 - 2025 Performance Series at the SFCPA.
