Thanks to you, we raised $10 during September toward all of the pending scholarship applications. We could sure use your help to move them from pending to funded! Thanks for considering us when deciding where to give.

Families apply for scholarships because they are either very low income, or are experiencing unexpected changes affecting their finances such as health, career, or caring for multiple generations suddenly. At this time, we have six families who've started applications whom we expect to receive compl...

🎶 Can you help us close the gap?

Our scholarship applications have increased dramatically, and we currently have five students waiting for scholarship decisions.

We are grateful that we can offer partial scholarships with the funds we have—but we don't want a student to have to give up their lessons halfway through the school year simply because we couldn't raise enough money.

We need at least $8,900 more to fully fund the five pending scholarships.

If you're able, please consider making a donation today.

$25 helps.
$50 helps.
$100 helps.
And $2,900 can sponsor an entire student for the school year, covering tuition and most of their books and materials.

There is no amount too small, and there is no better time to help than now.

Academy of Sound Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are 100% tax-deductible.

You can donate through the PayPal Giving Fund here. PayPal takes no fees, so the entire donation comes to the Foundation:

❤️ “We love seeing her happy face when she gets home and tells us how the practice went.”

A parent wrote those words about their daughter, who was so excited about music that she actually began working at Subway to help pay for her group class.

The parent went on to tell us how music was helping their daughter come out of her comfort zone, experience joy, and build relationships with other kids.

That is the kind of impact we see through music education.

Unfortunately, there are families who want these opportunities for their children but simply cannot afford them. Right now, five students are waiting for scholarships.

We have enough funds to offer only partial scholarships. Without additional donations, some of these students may not be able to continue their lessons throughout the school year.

We need to raise $8,900 to fully fund the scholarships currently pending.

🎓 $2,900 sponsors one student for a full school year.
🎶 Donations of any amount are welcome.
💙 Every donation is 100% tax-deductible.

Please help us give more families the opportunity to see that happy face come home from music lessons.

🎵 Why does music education matter?

One of our scholarship applicants put it beautifully:

“What I like most about music is how it makes me feel—and how it can change how you feel in a matter of seconds.”

This student wants to learn guitar so that someday he can create that same feeling for other people through his own music.

Another student told us that piano has helped her with singing and that she hopes to someday use the skills she learns to teach others—or simply play for fun.

These aren't just music lessons. They're opportunities to build confidence, pursue dreams, develop skills, and find something that brings joy.

Five students are currently waiting for scholarships. We can only provide partial scholarships with the funds we currently have, which means some may not be able to continue their lessons for the full school year.

We need $8,900 more to fully fund the applications currently pending.

Would you help us keep the music going? ❤️

Any amount helps. Or consider sponsoring one student for $2,900, covering their tuition and most books and materials for the entire school year.

💙 We raised $345 at the Academy of Sound Summer Recital.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed! That $345 represents people in our community who believe that young people deserve the opportunity to learn, grow, and discover what they can do through music.

But right now, the need is much greater.

With five scholarship applications pending, we need to raise at least $8,900 more to fully fund the scholarships those students need.

That may sound like a big number—but it starts with one person giving $25, $50, $100, or whatever they can.

And if you're in a position to make a larger commitment, consider sponsoring a student for $2,900, which covers a full school year of tuition plus most books and materials.

Every contribution brings us closer to being able to tell another student: “Yes, we can help you continue your music education.” 🎶

🎸 “For the longest time I always wanted to learn guitar…”

Those words came from one of our scholarship students, who had tried for years to make learning guitar happen—but circumstances kept getting in the way.

After receiving a scholarship, he wrote:

“I am really excited to finally start my first lesson… Thank you for the opportunity and support. It means a lot!”

This is why scholarships matter.

Right now, five more students are waiting, and we don't yet have enough funds to give them the full scholarships they need to continue their lessons throughout the school year.

We need to raise $8,900 to fully fund the scholarships currently pending.

Could you help make another student's musical dream possible?

🎶 Any donation helps.

🎶 Five students are waiting for us to say “yes.”

We currently have five scholarship applications pending, but unfortunately, our scholarship fund doesn’t have enough money to provide full scholarships to all of them.

We have enough to offer partial scholarships, but without additional funding, some of these students may not be able to continue their music lessons for the entire school year.

We need to raise at least $8,900 to fully fund the scholarships currently waiting for approval.

Every donation—large or small—helps. And if you’re able to sponsor a student, $2,900 covers an entire school year of tuition plus most books and materials.

❤️ All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

You can donate through the PayPal Giving Fund, which sends 100% of your donation to Academy of Sound Foundation, Inc. with no fees deducted:

We are so close to fully reaching our goal—but we need your help to close the final gap. Your generosity directly supports young musicians in our community who rely on scholarships to continue their lessons.

🎵 $2,500 sponsors a student for an entire school year
🎵 Smaller gifts combine to fund multiple partial scholarships
🎵 Every donation—big or small—makes a real impact

If you’ve been considering a year-end contribution, now is the perfect time to make it.
Thank you for helping us make music accessible to all. 💙🎶
