Have you ever been lucky enough to watch a child open a gift and realize it’s exactly what they have been hoping for?

At Global Arts, we experience this moment of joy when our students meet their instruments for the very first time. This Giving TUNES-day, we are raising funds to make this moment an opportunity for a brand new group of children.

Having an instrument to call their own can change a child’s life, however, for many students in Los Angeles this moment is out of reach. With 40,000 people living in its 1.33 square miles the Pico Union neighborhood is one of the most crowded neighborhoods in the country and is home to more than 8,900 children under the age of 18. But less than one-third have access to music education. At Global Arts, we believe that all children, regardless of their neighborhood or background, should have access to free music education. While we’ve doubled our enrollment over the last year, we are still serving only 6.7% of the students at our school, so we’re turning to you for support to widen our reach.

Beginning today we are raising money to provide musical instruments and supplies for 40 additional young musicians but we need your help to reach our goal.

One of our favorite stories from this past year was with 5th-grade Marcus. When Marcus first came to Global Arts, he had a lot of social anxiety and confidence issues, but overtime in music class, we started to see his mood brighten and his bad days evolve into good ones.

The biggest turning point for Marcus was the day he met his flute. He could barely contain his excitement, his eyes lit up, and his body wiggled as he reached for his newest friend. We watched his curiosity blossom and a spark for learning ignite. He and his classmates are now proud to be part of a musical community.

Since you are an integral part of our music community, we need your help to create this magical opportunity for more students like Marcus and make a significant impact on a child’s musical journey. Please make your gift this “TUNES-Day” so that we can provide 40 more children with instruments to call their own! Give tunes, change a life, and add a little more harmony to Los Angeles.
