TO TEACH, MENTOR, AND PROVIDE MUSICAL EXPERIENCES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERSERVED YOUTH.

SOUNDS ACADEMY BELIEVES THAT THE ZIP CODE OF A CHILD SHOULD NOT DICTATE THEIR ACCESS TO MUSIC EDUCATION. WHILE IN SOUNDS ACADEMY, STUDENTS RECEIVE INDIVIDUAL LESSONS, GROUP CLASSES, AND PERFORM ON THE VIOLIN, VIOLA, CELLO, GUITAR, AND PIANO. INSTRUMENTS ARE PROVIDED TO THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD ONE.

WE TEACH THESE VALUES IN OUR MUSICAL ACCESS PROGRAM, WHICH CONNECTS 4,000 STUDENTS TO LIVE MUSIC AND INSTRUMENTS THROUGH OUR INSTRUMENT PETTING ZOOS, OUR SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR 200 STUDENTS IN LOWER INCOME SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS, OUR SOLO PROGRAM, WHICH PROVIDES ONE-ON-ONE INSTRUCTION FOR 100 STUDENTS, AND THE COLLECTIVE WHICH EXPOSES 50 STUDENTS TO MUSIC THEORY CLASSES, HIGHER LEVEL ENSEMBLE PLAYING, AND PERFORMANCE CLASSES.
