Thank you so much for joining us! What is your “backstory”?

We started our charity 7 years ago and have been working within the public school system at K-6 getting music and art to kids in LAusd during the school day. We’ve done over 1 thousand guitar donations as well as other instruments like Keyboards, Drums and any other instruments the kids need.

We pay our teachers and have created a curriculum of modern music as well as classics and jazz to give our kids a well-rounded history of music and art.

We’ve done partnerships in Art with IFAW teaching kids about animals and the environment.
