We’d like to thank the Clayton Family Foundation for its support of our new Rural Outreach Program, which we expect will deliver hundreds of music classes to never-before-served underprivileged communities throughout East Tennessee.

We aim to add 125 classes in five new locations this year, starting in Loudon County. Plans for year two include an increase to 225 classes. They’ll be taught by contracted teacher/artists as well as volunteers. The Clayton Foundation funding pays for teacher contracts, travel, musical instruments, and storage for the instruments.

We believe strongly in the power of the art and discipline of music—even in hard-to-reach places—to change lives and communities.
