Mission

Mission Ensuring equal access to the M.A.G.I.C. of Music by providing musical instruments, instruction and inspiring musical opportunities to students in need. Vision We believe and studies show that music education increases Mental Wellness, Agility, Grit, Independence, & Community. We create reliable access to applied music lessons and other avenues of musical learning regardless of income, ability, proximity, or any other barriers that block a child from learning a musical instrument. While Play It Forward works to ensure children can access Music M.A.G.I.C. Mental Wellness, Agility, Grit, Independence and Community, we know that poverty can obstruct access to the kind of instrumental instruction a childs more affluent peers enjoy. We believe providing instrumental lessons and free instruments bridges the gap between desire and opportunity for hundreds of children and creates access to this vital learning opportunity where it once did not exist. Work - We currently serve over 200 ch
