Alexa Fernandez for The SFCPA

What The SFCPA means to me

My name is Alexa, I am Director of Operations for South Florida Center for Percussive Arts. I have been working with this organization for over 6 years and I am incredibly proud of what we've accomplished during that time. If you've experienced a class or event with us, you know how transformative and connecting it can be. 

The SFCPA is a place where everyone, all ages and abilities can connect through rhythm. I've seen kids and adults come out of their shell and express themselves and smiles like you wouldn't believe. This is one of very few organizations serving South of Kendall. Providing music classes for all ages, live music and events. Support arts programming in your community, it's important!

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. 

We are increasing our capacity to serve more children and families in South Florida! Just this Fall, we 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 we are being asked to perform and provide drumming activities weekly. 

We need your help to support the demand of our 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.
