Music is an art; so is Giving Back
Why community service?
Creating better people is not just about learning a life skill and understanding it. Without action, it becomes no more than just an idea that stays in our brain.
Our community service component to our education programs is designed to apply the life skills that have been taught and experience that there are many ways to give back to our communities. During our community service outreach, our students learn new skills that are unrelated to music and see how the three pillars of success are at work every minute of the day, in different industries.

How it works
Our students prepare music during the school year to perform for their final recital at the end of the academic year. As they learn new music, they learn new skills that need to be applied to fully understand them both.
The students choose an organization within the communities they live in and perform a showcase concert for the residents of nursing homes, participants of food pantries and more in order to unite and brighten the moods of the people they are serving.
After the performances, students usually do a Q and A with the audience to answer any questions regarding any musical or experience based questions the listeners have for the young leaders. Then…
Our students rollup their sleeves and get to work in volunteering to help out the specific organization or work directly with the people for the rest of their visit. Thus resulting in smiles, happiness and overall great feeling from helping others through music.
