What We’re About

Music Youth Partnership reintroduces the life-changing power of music education by embedding professional musician-mentors into public school classrooms and eliminating poverty-based barriers by providing instruments to underserved students. Our mission is to support music educators, increase access to quality instruction, and ignite lifelong potential in youth through consistent mentorship and musical opportunity.

Music Youth Partnership is a non-profit foundation designed to place a friend next to every band student. That friend is a professional musician who mentors and encourages them during their entire band experience — and even provides an instrument, if they need one.

Every child deserves someone on their side, and we provide that someone. Cathy Grant, Founder & Executive Director of Music Youth Partnership Music Youth Partnership’s work will…help provide [students] the personal, educational and musical benefits that are uniquely inherent to music education.
