Musical Mondays

Building Foundations, Opening Doors

At select schools in underserved communities, Musical Mondays makes music education accessible —one note, one student, one Monday at a time. This after-school program gives motivated young learners the chance to pick up an instrument, rehearse with practice partners, play alongside peers, and grow in a nurturing, supportive environment.

Whether it’s their first time holding a violin or their first group performance, students develop confidence, discipline, and a foundation in music. More than a class, it’s a community—where every student can participate in the joy of making music regardless of financial circumstance.

Because every student deserves the chance to shine—and every Monday is a new beginning for exploring.
