Happy First Week Back to School!

As the busy start of the school year begins, we wanted to share just a few ways We Are Instrumental is helping students across Northern New York.

750 instruments donated since we began!
And we’re just getting started. Imagine how many more instruments we can collect, repair, and put into students’ hands this year.

Private lessons for up to 36 stuebts, giving young musicians access the individualized instruction they need to grow.

Creating opportunities to learn together
Events like our 2026 Music Summit on October 17 bring students and teachers from across the region together to perform, learn, connect, and experience what’s possible through music.

Ticonderoga to Long Island and back. Hundreds of miles. 50 brand-new instruments. One late-night unload.

Because distance shouldn’t determine a child’s access to music.
