For nearly a decade I have had the vision of creating a long-term sustainable outreach program that would put the arts and music back into the schools and lives of our youth.  An ever-increasing number of schools in our country are being faced with budget cuts that are forcing non-core curriculum programs to vanish.  Even though numerous studies have shown that students involved in the performing arts score on average 51 points higher on verbal and 39 points higher on math sections of standardized tests than the national average, music and arts are the first programs to suffer.  The arts create an invaluable platform towards developing the skills and confidence needed to succeed in almost every area of life.  Give Them Music is working to resurrect these devastating losses and to rejuvenate the creative minds of our youth.

 

Bron Wright, Executive Director

 

 

Mission:

Give Them Music exists to promote and revive the performing arts in our schools and communities through outreach programs and by providing opportunities, resources and incentives for schools to re-establish and continue these vital programs.

Goals:

  • To provide free educational outreach concerts, through private funding and grants, to schools without performing arts programs and to those who have lost their programs to budget cuts.

  • To provide subsidized private and/or group lessons and instrument rental fees for students who lack the necessary resources.

  • To provide free online resources such as video lessons, sheet music downloads, scales, and instrument fingering charts.

  • To reach communities and schools throughout the state who don’t have access or live within close proximity to larger cities that offer youth concerts.

  • To develop chamber music outreach training programs at local colleges and universities that will implement outreach in their curriculum.

  • To encompass other nearby states and ultimately become a national outreach organization

  • To become a self-sustaining non-profit organization
