Music Changes Lives—And We Make It Happen!

Every donated instrument is restored and placed in the hands of Colorado students eager to learn and create. Learn how your donated instruments give music a new home and a lasting impact!

Music Matters

“A girl and her freshman sister had been missing from band camp for the first two days. When I asked her about it, I learned that her mom had pawned her trombones and her sister’s flute for drugs. She loves band and was embarrassed and devastated that she didn’t have an instrument to play. I was able to tell her I could provide her and her sister instruments because of generous donations like yours. The sense of community and belonging that band gives students is vital for these kids and may be the thing that breaks this cycle for her.”
