Happy Holidays, and Happy 2015!

OUR MUSIC is OUR FUTURE

As 2014 comes to a close, (and we’ve just celebrated our 10th anniversary this year)…I’m reminded on a daily basis of all the ways that the students of Musicians Institute and our Grammy Museum Music Education Programs rely on the support of those who understand the power of music education and the important role it plays in our lives. This year we’re pleased to have expanded our reach and partnerships to include Little Kids Rock, and Los Angeles College of Music.

Personal donations, sponsored music industry scholarships, alumni donors and friends like YOU can make professional, college level music education possible for many deserving and talented students.  We’ve awarded over $300,000 in scholarships since 2004, and over $73,000 in scholarships to 56 students during 2014.

If you haven’t yet made a contribution to our scholarship fund, I invite you to join us by making a tax-deductible donation NOW to the Musicians Institute Student Scholarship fund administered by The Musicians Foundation.
