89% of California schools do not provide visual/media arts, dance, theater and music classes mandated by law.
"Spread The Music Initiative"
Our annual goal with the "Spread The Music Initiative" is to provide 100 students with a 20-lesson package, culminating in a live performance at one of our concerts. To achieve this, we need to raise $60,000, which will cover the cost of the lessons for all participating students. This initiative offers students the opportunity to develop their musical skills and showcase their progress on stage, reinforcing the importance of arts education and community engagement.
