Support The Future of Music: The I See Melody Music Production Academy

At I See Melody, we believe our youth deserve more than to just listen to music, more than performing 18th century compositions in school orchestra - they deserve the opportunity to create, understand, and imagine a future in music.

The I See Melody Music Production Academy has taken a fresh, contemporary approach to music education. Our curriculum combines music production, songwriting, technology, artist development, and creative entrepreneurship to give students real-world skills they can use both inside and outside the studio.

We’re raising funds to strengthen the I See Melody Music Production program and provide students and educators with the tools they need to inspire, create, learn, and grow.

Your donation will help us provide:

🎧 Studio equipment for students and educators, including production, recording, and performance tools

🧠 Program Administration, Training, and Planning helps ensure our educators are prepared to implement consistent, engaging, high quality contemporary music education experience.

📚 Educational resources, activity workbooks, and custom I See Melody music production manuals

💻 Technology and software that empowers students and educators through hands-on music production and education

🎵 New curriculum development & training resources that keeps our program relevant to the way young people create and experience music today

🎒 Educator travel and teaching gear to help us bring quality programming directly into schools and communities

⭐ Student incentives and creative rewards that encourage participation, growth, and achievement

Our goal is much bigger than simply teaching students how to use music software…

We want to help young people see themselves as creators - In route towards a professional journey as an independent artist

Through original music projects and hands-on learning, students are encouraged to explore their own sound, develop their creative voice, collaborate with others, and begin understanding the many careers that exist within the music industry - from producers and songwriters, to recording artists, engineers, designers, and creative entrepreneurs.

Every contribution helps us put better tools into the hands of young creators and provide this innovative music education to more young music enthusiasts in schools and centers across Lincoln and Omaha, NE.

Where Your Donation Goes

Our $6,000 fundraising goal will help us build a hands-on music production environment where young people can learn, create, experiment, and develop the skills to pursue their creative dreams.

This campaign is about more than purchasing equipment. It’s about putting professional tools into the hands of young creators and giving them the opportunity to turn their ideas into original music.
