A youth-led Arizona nonprofit connects experienced student musicians with students who lack access to music education.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The project describes a student-to-student model in which experienced high school musicians provide one-on-one or small-group lessons, while fundraising supplies instruments, sheet music, practice materials, and instructional books. Its stated Arizona context is unusually concrete: the homepage cites 50% of schools with no arts budget, more than 134,203 students without qualifying arts instruction, and a goal of reaching the next 100 students. The page presents these figures as part of its case for access.
