Behind every instrument is an incredible musician

Access

By providing convenient, free, high quality youth development/music education every day after school we address both need to access to enriching child care and high level enrichment in Stamford.

Opportunity

Playing a musical instrument opens doors to new worlds and experiences. Our programming provides opportunities for our students to expand not only musically, but personally. Through explorations in creativity, self-expression, team building and peer leadership our students cultivate and build fundamental life skills.

Inspiration

Our immersive after-school program inspires our students to create, compose and collaborate. Our students inspire us to provide them with the tools they need to live a meaningful, productive and creative life. We believe in the beauty of a world filled with music.

Why Music Matters

Our collective success results in social transformation, creation of inspiration, and access for those most in need. Development of creativity and innovation ultimately gives our students the vision of their own potential.

Schools with music programs have an estimated 90.2% graduation rate and 93.9% attendance rate compared to schools without music education, which average 72.9% graduation and 84.9% attendance.
