Because of your generosity, we've reached 30% of our $5,000 Next Track goal!

With just two weeks left, there's still time to help a child discover the joy of creating their own music—from writing songs and creating beats to recording their own original music.

Will you help us reach our goal by October 31?

A song. A beat. An original recording. What could a child create with the right tools and opportunity?

Through our Next Track fundraiser, we're raising $5,000 to create SoundLab, where children can explore songwriting, recording, digital music production, and more.

We're already 15% of the way to our goal! Help give a child the tools to turn their musical ideas into reality.

🎶 Your gift can go twice as far!

We are moving! And a generous supporter has pledged to match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $20,000. That means your gift today will have double the impact as we prepare Desert Sounds' new home for the next generation of young musicians.

Help us transform empty rooms into spaces where children will learn, create, perform, and belong.

Last fall, you helped make our Sombreros for the Soul campaign a success. Today, we're excited to share that our handcrafted sombreros are complete and on their way from Mexico!

Soon, our mariachi students will proudly wear them as they take the stage this season.

Thank you for helping preserve culture, build confidence, and support the next generation of musicians. ❤️🎶
