Putting donated and repaired musical instruments into the hands of students who need them
Music4Life puts donated and repaired musical instruments into the hands of students who need them, with the aim of supporting students' entre into and persistence in music education and ensuring strong instrumental music programs. Music4Life acquires musical instruments from those who understand the important role of music in a child’s life, works with instrument manufacturers, rental agencies, wholesalers, retailers, and others who have access to serviceable musical instruments, and then provides donated and repaired musical instruments at no charge to public school districts and encourages them to make these instruments available to students in need.
