How do you build confidence?
When you feel confident, it can mean feeling secure in meeting everyday challenges. Confidence helps boost your mindset into thinking "I can" instead of "I can't". Furthermore, it enables you to move forward in discovering and developing your capabilities.

Building confidence at a young age is critical in helping a child try again when making mistakes. It supports being open to new challenges - nurturing a child in reaching their fullest potential. Learning music creates a safe environment and helps to level the playing field for students. After two years of comprehensive music learning in school, our external impact study showed that 95% of teachers reported that their students demonstrated an increase in self-confidence, and 92% of teachers reported that their students were engaged in learning more often.

For Student Nathan, music has changed his life, giving him confidence and motivation.

Your annual gift this summer will help us expand our reach to provide long-term, sustainable music education programs and provide equal opportunities for children to reach their fullest potential. For $14 a month or $160 an entire school year, you can sponsor a child to have music class all year long. Give the gift that lasts a lifetime.

Your 100% tax-deductible donation will help us increase our impact by:
  • Expanding high-quality, sequential music education to 45 schools and 19,000 children across Los Angeles County.
  • Supplying new instruments to support a growth of 150% of students across our ensembles during and after school.
  • Offering over 100 hours of top-notch, comprehensive training for music educators and interns year-round.

THANK YOU for your support of our mission to ensure that children like Nathan have hope for a brighter future through music. We could not do this vital work without you!
Warmest Wishes for a Wonderful Summer!
