Who we are
We believe that music is the infrastructure for human thriving.
When students of have access to music education, they benefit from improved mental health, improved engagement with other academic subjects, and improved community feeling.

But there is a problem on the West Coast
According to the Arts Education Data Project,
there is a huge number of schools in Oregon that have no access to music education.
Our goal is to change that.
By using a specially-designed curriculum which can be used to be a general classroom teacher, we can get more music into more students hands than most small education budgets can allow.
