The Roots of Music is special

We believe that music can be the transformative force in the lives of our students

Your support means that you’re giving towards sustaining their empowerment through music education, academic tutoring, support and mentorship. Within our after school programs we also provide round trip transportation, daily meals, performance opportunities, studio production classes, and instrument repair and maintenance.

Our programming is fully encircled around all of our children by offering programming for ages 5 – 18. Our newest program, Sprouts of Music, introduces music fundamentals to the littlest ages 5 – 8. Our world renowned Marching Crusaders students are ages 9 – 14. The Roots Academy studio program is for our students ages 15 – 18.

Our goal is to provide our students with the resources they need to lead positive, productive, self-reliant lives.
