How it works

From your closet to a student's music class

Donate

Look through closets, garages and storage for anything that can make music. Email us and we'll arrange drop-off or pick-up.

Repair

Every instrument is checked, cleaned and sent to local repair techs when it needs work, so it plays like it should.

Deliver

Students apply, we review every application, and approved kids receive an instrument that's theirs to keep.
