How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Instrument Redistribution to Expand Equitable Accessmethodology: instrument-redistributionBy redistributing underutilized musical instruments to free music programs in underserved communities, we increase access to music education, because physical access to instruments is a critical barrier to participation.
- Music Education as Cognitive and Life Development Toolmethodology: music-education-for-youth-developmentBy providing access to music education and instruments in underserved communities, we improve cognitive development and transform children's lives, because learning music engages the brain in complex ways and music education fosters personal growth and opportunity.
