How it started........How it’s going.....

Sometimes taking music lessons as a kid leads to being a singer songwriter!

We have had several students benefit from this program over the years, so your dollars do benefit local students. Today is a great day to donate to Creative Kids!

Creative Kids provides funding for kids for any sort of arts! Piano, singing, speech arts as well as dance or art...

Children need the arts - now more than ever!

Creative Kids online applications are up and running and are really not that complicated once you get started! I am here to help you with the process from start... to finish! I just finished helping a mom apply for her two kids to receive full funding for private art lessons. (Qualification is income/ needs based). Would your child like one on one art instruction? Studio time to create? Perhaps an extended art camp during school holidays? Maybe paint parties as a group? Let me know your needs and we can make it happen. Applications are due in before August 14th for the upcoming *school year. (September to the end of May).

Today we’re announcing Learn with Carnegie Hall, a weekly spinoff of Live with Carnegie Hall! This free, online series showcases the power of music to enrich, i...nspire, and connect. Throughout the summer, we’ll highlight interactive programs for families and educators to share with children of all ages, invite aspiring musicians to gain insights from the world’s leading artists, and pull back the curtain on the powerful role music can play in all of our lives. Watch here on Facebook Live, on Instagram Stories, or at carnegiehall.org/learn.

If you know someone who wants music lessons but is worried about the cost, tell them about this fabulous program.
