Some of the bravest people we’ve ever met didn’t stand on a big stage. They sat in a circle with a guitar in their hands and decided to try.

This clip from 2021 features students from our “Guitars in the Heights” program at M.I.H. Victory, Inc., talking about what music gave them: a goal, a purpose, and a reason to keep going.

Every chord learned is proof that growth is possible. Every song is a step forward. We’re endlessly proud of these students and grateful they let us be part of their journey.

If you’re in a hard season right now, hold on. Your next chapter is still being written.

Internal Creations started in a basement with storage surrounding us, to working with multiple schools across New York. Our mission from the start has always been to enrich the lives of our community and to inspire our students to become the best versions of themselves. Hopefully, we can bring all of you the motivation to keep your dream alive and continue to push- even when the start doesn’t look the most glamorous.

Keep your head held high and your guitar in hand 🎸💗 Lets continue to musically create each other.
