Become a Grow Music Buddy! Share the gift of music by sponsoring a young person's music lessons. Grow Music Buddies is a scholarship program that provides funding for driven and dedicated students who do not currently possess the resources for individualized music education.
Why should I donate? Mastering an instrument takes consistency, dedication, and guidance. Why should I donate monthly? Mastering an instrument takes a lot of time and resources!
What does music education cost? •$30/month gives a student access to weekly Group Classes. Grow Music classes currently serve learners ages 2 through adult. •$50/month sponsors a student in the Mentorship Program. Mentees are high school-aged leadership students who learn best teaching practices by assisting lead teaching artists in their classes. Additionally, mentorship students participate in monthly meetings to reflect, support, and inspire one another. •$90-150/month sponsors Individual Lessons. These lessons are for students who demonstrate exceptional motivation, responsibility, and desire to learn but lack financial resources.
PAY IT FORWARD Be a part of a diverse group of donors who value music education and want the best for the next generation of musicians! Grow Music Buddy donations may be monthly, quarterly, or annually. ANY amount makes an impact and we are so grateful for your support.
