Become a Grow Music Buddy! Music education offers a wide range of benefits that extend beyond the realm of music itself. It enhances cognitive, emotional, and social development, fosters creativity and discipline, and contributes to personal growth, well-being, and a sense of belonging. We wish to extend these benefits to more young people in our community!
A Music Buddy is a friend who sponsors a young person's musical growth. Scholarships support talented and driven students who have been recommended by teachers or counselors for music lessons but do not currently possess the financial resources.
What does music education cost? •$30 gives an individual lesson to a budding musician. •$35/month gives a student access to weekly Group Classes. •$50/month sponsors a student in the Mentorship Program. Mentees are high school students who learn best teaching practices by assisting lead teaching artists. •$90-120/month sponsors weekly individual lessons. These lessons are for students who are already demonstrating exceptional motivation, responsibility, and desire to learn.
