As we examined the music education system throughout the nation, we found that music education is not only important for
its intrinsic value, but research consistently demonstrated that students who study an instrument enhance their critical thinking
skills and their ability to work together as a team. They are more engaged in school and less likely to drop out; and they
do significantly better in all of their academic endeavors. Upon seeing the facts about the benefits of music education in
a young person’s life, since that visionary moment, the Save The Music Foundation has proudly restored over
1,600 instrumental music programs in more than 100 cities nationwide, putting instruments into the hands of 1.2 million children.
The Foundation is able to make grants of music education programs because of the generous support from its corporate sponsors,
foundations, individuals and partners.
