Mentor Youth Through Music. |
|
Seattle Music Partners cultivates a diverse and vibrant music-making community by providing youth with free music instruction and one-on-one mentoring to eliminate racial and economic barriers to quality music education. We do this by offering free after-school and evening program opportunities that use music and mentorship to impact the lives of young people. Our unique program matches skilled volunteers from the community, one-on-one, with students who wish to learn how to play an instrument. SMP students also attend weekly group lessons, led by our trained teaching artists, to gain ensemble experience. Instruments, music books, music stands and even transportation are provided free of charge.
Our mission is built on the foundational pillars of quality music instruction, youth development, and social justice. Through this structure, SMP mentors and teaches more than 100 students each week as they develop their skills as individual performers and ensemble members.
We invite you to learn more about this innovative program and encourage you to support our work!
