Did you know there are over 5,000 elementary students in North Port? Each year, those students only receive a minimal amount of music education of only 20 to 30 hours per year.

Music education offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond learning to play an instrument or sing. It enhances cognitive abilities such as memory and problem-solving skills, fosters creativity and self-expression, and promotes discipline and perseverance through regular practice and rehearsals. Moreover, participating in music programs encourages teamwork and collaboration, as students often perform in ensembles or bands. Beyond these cognitive and social advantages, music education has been shown to boost emotional well-being by providing an outlet for stress relief and a means of communicating complex emotions. Overall, music education enriches students' lives by nurturing a lifelong appreciation for the arts and instilling skills that can benefit them academically, socially, and personally.

Our goal is to close the gap in the amount of music instruction students receive through after-school and summer programs that are available right here in North Port. Thanks to our partnership with North Port High School, we have access to state-of-the-art facilities to provide our students with the best of the best education.
