Pivoting for a Pandemic

We believe passionately that all children are talented and should be given love and dignity – and the opportunity and encouragement to discover and develop their talent in a positive environment. It has been a 20-year amazing journey!

In 2020, COVID changed our world. If there was ever a time when the young people of the world need healing, hope and wholeness – it is now! Music speaks to both the inner soul and the outer person – bringing healing, hope, dignity, connection and self-confidence. Music accelerates and facilitates literacy, math concepts and academic performance. Music makes an indelible impact in the life of a young person that remains for life. It builds strong relationships, and inspires them to “reach for the stars.”

As we expand from two countries to a global organization, we will build bridges of communication and interaction for children from all situations.

It is only through our family of donors, major supporters, and business partnerships that we are able to do this amazing work.This report is dedicated to them with the desire to give a glimpse of what gratitude looks like through the eyes of a child.

We welcome you to see our projects, feel our excitement, and participate in our future to transform the next generation through the power of music.

With a heart full of gratitude,

Connie Fortunato Founder and President For those who are isolated, music brings community.

For those in despair, music brings hope.

For those who suffer the deprivation of poverty, music brings opportunity.

For those who suffer discrimination and prejudice, music brings dignity and inclusion.
