What makes our program important is that we hire the highest quality musicians to teach public school students at no cost to the students or schools, and our teaching takes place at school during class time, eliminating financial, transportation and scheduling barriers to music education. Our teachers are professionals, all having at least a masters degree or equivalent experience, and are equipped to teach beginners through advanced students. Because we teach at the public schools during class time, we have no building rental or utility fees. With very low overhead, approximately 82% of our total budget goes to paying our high quality teachers to work with students; therefore, the direct impact of funds we receive is high.

 

Please consider becoming a monthly donor. Your consistent donation will directly impact students in Athens-Clarke County by allowing us to accurately budget for the specialized small group and one-on-one instruction we provide at school, during class time. Using this equitable model of instruction allows every student participating in the school music program to benefit from our teachers' expertise.
