Thank a Music Educator Campaign
Who inspired your love of music? A band director who believed in you? A choir teacher who helped you find your voice? A piano instructor who sparked a lifelong passion?
Launching October 19, 2025, our month-long "Thank a Music Educator" campaign is dedicated to the music teachers who change our lives. Whether it was decades ago or just last year, your story matters, and your gratitude can help us create more moments like yours for future generations of musicians. Our goal is to raise $4,000 through this campaign to help us expand our flagship in-school program in the spring and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the organization.​​​

Working with HEART Music teachers has been a positive experience for all of my students. I am so thankful that they are offering their services for free and that they approached me to help out!

Your support helps HEART Music provide accessible, high-quality music education to young people in Athens and surrounding communities. Approximately 82% of our annual operating budget goes to paying professional musicians as instructors for our two programs, which means the direct impact of each dollar you donate is high. Donations also help us reach new audiences and cover general administrative costs. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact in the life of a young musician and helps us build a more vibrant, creative, and connected community through music.

Please consider becoming a monthly donor to provide sustained support for HEART Music to ensure long-term stability of the organization and expand our programs to reach more young musicians.
