With devastating cuts to school arts programs, thousands of children are being denied access to a musical education. The People's Music School exists solely to fill this gap, but demand is overwhelming. Each Fall, lines form days in advance of our annual registration, as parents try to secure access to this invaluable education for their children but we have to turn away hundreds of families due to a lack of funding. With your help, we can maximize enrollment and provide a music education for up to 500 children at the school and reach thousands more through the YOURS Project.
