    Music participation has been proven to help people reach the heights of human potential and is foundational to a healthy society.

    Bellingham’s thriving music scene and festivals are keys to what makes this an amazing place to visit or live. Our musicians need more safe and friendly options to rehearse and connect for these events.

    We collect used and new musical instruments and donate them to underserved members of our community.

    Government funding cuts are endangering the very existence of music education programs in our schools.

    Music now matters more than ever before. Music creates social cohesion, it speaks to all when words can fail, and wherever you go in the world, it is understood. Music is a universal gift and its power to connect people is without question. It is an art form with human interaction at its center.
