The Gift of Music
Music education and instruments for underserved youth
Breaking Down Barriers to Music Education
The Gift of Music program ensures that every child in Greensboro has access to quality music education, regardless of their family's financial situation. We believe that music education is not a luxury—it's a necessity that builds confidence, creativity, and community.
Through partnerships with community centers, schools, and local music educators, we provide free music lessons, instrument rentals, and performance opportunities to youth who might otherwise never have the chance to experience the joy of making music.
