Education
Studies show that students who participate in music education programs have higher attendance,improved academic success, high school graduation rates and college aspirations. These results from strategic music education programs are music to our ears at a time where one in every four students in the United States fails to graduate high school.
Donations are critical to the ongoing success of these programs.
