Mission
We offer music lessons which are part of a cultural education for students. Along with these lessons we also offer and encourage students to perform multiple times a year in a variety of venues including the Washington Center for the Performing Arts as well as outdoors in a concert of Video Game and Cinema music on the boardwalk in downtown Olympia. All of our performances are free to participate in and free for the community to attend including our advanced recitals where advanced students are asked to take up 10 minutes, explain a few details of their piece and the composer. The lessons not only enhance the understanding of the student but also teach them problem solving skills for their future. The performances offer opportunities to learn how to manage stressful situations which will arise in their lives.
Program accomplishments
- Throughout the year we provided music lessons and classes as well as performance opportunities for students, including some who could not otherwise afford lessons, which were open to the publicExpenses $3,645
