WHAT DOES IT SUPPORT?

All year, Common Chord provides various educational and enrichment programs to area youth designed to provide access to musical experiences and build positive relationships.

InTune Music Mentorship program - provides students at Project Renewal in Davenport, the MLK Center in Rock Island, the Boys & Girls Club in Moline, and now in Davenport. InTune employs professional musician mentors to share a love of music with the kids, build healthy mentoring relationships, develop more robust support networks for at-risk youth, and show positive paths forward in life.

Jerry Brown's Acoustic Music Club - a music enrichment program for youth and adults of all abilities that provides a fun musical experience. Provides in partnership with the Blackhawk Area Special Education Center, ARC of the Quad Cities, Empowering Abilities (formerly HDC), and Empower House.

RiverCurrents - our flagship school program that teaches the history and evolution of American music along the Mississippi River. All Davenport 5th graders and many other schools throughout the region participate in this program.

Let’s Band Together - instrument loan program, which refurbishes donated instruments and loans them for free to students interested in exploring music, ensuring that finances are not a barrier to any child.

100% OF FUNDS raised will directly fund Common Chord's education programs, creating accessible and inclusive music experiences for youth, creating and inspiring a love of music in the Quad Cities.
