Share the Joy of Music
Since 2014, we have been working to provide music lessons for all. We have since grown to accommodate need and provide more lessons for children and we need your support to expand!
We want to collect donations to buy instruments to further provide our students with the necessary resources to further develop their skills, even when lessons are not in session. Just $30 will provide one child with one month of free music lessons and an instrument rental in an atmosphere to foster multifarious growth. Starting at $300, this provides a child with their own instrument for years to cultivate new skills through practice with your help!
Our Story
We spread the joy of music and teach those that may not have had the opportunity to learn music otherwise. Our programming consists of connecting with elementary schools in the Montreal community to reach out to youth. We provide after-school workshops and private music lessons as well as group classes. Volunteers travel to the school to set up and teach the music lessons and classes, while also having time for other games and activities.
We fundraise to provide all the instruments and supplies to allow the students to learn their best on their instrument of choice. Thus far, we have piano, guitar, clarinet, violin, voice, and percussion lessons, and we hope to continually expand. This open campaign helps us raise funds to acquire more instruments to offer this program to more students!
Our Mission
SoMM’s mission is to promote education equality to children at risk, to reduce that risk by providing a safe and supporting environment, and to achieve this education and personal growth potential through musical avenues.
Individual risk can be defined as financial, academic, or personal circumstances that may hinder the child from receiving an equal opportunity for education. We hope to reduce this risk and create a sense of personal empowerment in these children by introducing them to musical technique, exploring music through workshops and group classes, and sharing our passion for music with them. We want to allow every child a chance to learn music for free. We want to give them an opportunity to recognize and utilize alternative sources for learning and take control of their own education. We not only strive to kickstart their musical development, we also aim to foster and create an environment in which the student can grow emotionally and individually.
