Our programs provide reliable access to no-cost instruments, instruction and inspirational performance opportunities. Our goal is to remove barriers of income, historical inequities, proximity or any other obstacle that stands between a child and access to the musical education that all children deserve.
As a foundation of PIF’s work in the community, we act as a hub of instrument donation for gently-used instruments that go to our families, schools, arts and cultural centers, and professional musicians. Your donation to Play It Forward is a direct gift to a young person with a yet-to-be-discovered talent and a passion to share with the world.
It’s no secret that music lessons help support bright futures, open up opportunities and help kids become their best. Play it Forward facilitates instrument donations that provide to our families, schools, arts and cultural centers, and young professional musicians with gently-used instruments. Your donation to PIF is a direct gift to a young person.
We provide no cost piano and guitar lessons by partnering with local nonprofit, charter schools, public schools and after school programs to bring lessons to children where they are — at school!
Each student in our K.E.Y.S. to Learning program gets a gently used instrument from the community that is theirs to keep. We will never ask them to return it. We believe all children deserve access to the learning opportunity that music provides so we bring the lessons to them.
We provide inspiring performance opportunities, including our end-of-the-year recital, where students get the applause and trophies they earned!
Regardless of income, ability, proximity or any other barrier, PIF helps unlock potential and passion. We help children realize their own brilliance and we believe the world is better for it.
