My Project

At our school, our students are hard-working, musically astute, and voracious learners.

Now, more than ever, we need to foster creativity, empathy, and cultural literacy through music!

Music teaches our students to imagine, innovate, collaborate and respond with wonderment and awe, and to respect the artistic contributions of all cultures. They love and need music. They soak it up every chance they get. A clarinet and flute will help our winds players create their woodwind magic. Help a NYC music kid today and set them on their music journey!
