Music education is a critical part of a child's whole curriculum. Learning to play music helps students build and strengthen neural pathways that help with reading and language learning. Studying music also teaches pattern recognition, collaboration, and creative problem solving - skills we use every day.
Over the past decades, arts education funding has steadily decreased. As a result of these budget cuts, it is less likely than ever that schools will have musical instruments and supplies on hand to lend to students who may not be able to afford the rental or purchase cost of an instrument needed to participate.
We believe that quality music education should be accessible to everyone. We created Instruments in the Cloud to help teachers build and grow their music programs, and we actively support teachers who are engaging their students by providing culturally relevant curriculum. Our aim is to help equip all music programs with the instruments and supplies necessary for every student to engage and benefit from studying music.
