WHAT WE DO
Bringing Music to Life
Music in Schools - create and support music enrichment programs, and advocate for music being part of core curriculum in public schools.
Master Classes - Connecting a wide range of musicians and groups to communities for classes, lectures, and creative collaborations
Wellness Programs - Healing through music by bringing professional musicians together with amateur and retired musicians to explore music as therapy/recovery for trauma, abuse, addiction, depression, suicide, eating disorders, ADHD, and other physical and psychological challenges.
Musician Safety Net - helping professional and semi-professional musicians advance their well-being through social, emotional, financial, and professional support
COMMUNITY BUILDING
While the artist’s life is never easy, the rewards for the individual and society can be enormous. At the same time, the creative life can be high-risk, especially for those suffering from addiction, illness, or a myriad of physical, emotional, and/or financial challenges. Musicians and performing artists often lack the resources or inclination to seek care in their later years.
Together, we seek to smooth some of life’s roughest waters, providing a community safety net to help professional and semi-professional musicians advance their well-being through social, emotional, financial, and professional support throughout their lives, including:
• mentoring
• vocational training
• scholarships
• education
• career guidance
• insurance
• physical & psychological therapy and support
• recovery
• discounts, and other supportive needs
SUPPORT
At Instruments For Good Foundation, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue. Support is by no means an easy feat, but through cooperation and community empowerment we believe we can facilitate progress in this area. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
