Music is a vital part of our daily lives allowing us to express ourselves and connect with others. Music has been known to improve scholastic performance, as well as increase concentration and Self Enrichment. Music improves an individual’s critical analysis skills and their ability to deal with and solve problems, while music therapy has been shown to have a significant effect on an individual’s relaxation and recovery.
We need your help to support music in New England. Many celebrities and performers like Sarah Blacker and Scott Stapp have become music ambassadors, helping us spread our message about the importance of keeping music in our lives. Organizations can participate in our partnership programs to help us with our events or projects. Not-for-profit organizations work with us as Foundation Partners providing mutual support and assistance.
We have an online store where consumers can buy wonderful merchandise to spread our message. The guitar string bracelets are a favorite. You can also make an online donation to support music in New England.
