MusEdAF - Music Education Assistance Fund

Hi, I am Rebecca, owner and operator of Rebecca Muller Music, LLC. I've been teaching kids ages 8-18 (and some adults, too!) private music lessons in piano, voice, and guitar for over 15 years. I LOVE what I do, and I am very passionate about music, kids, and paying it all forward. However, I see music education programs disappearing in schools and emphasis on the importance of arts education dwindling. Can you imagine a world without music? Private music education is available, but many can not afford it. The instruments, the supplies, the tuition; it all adds up. This deficit leaves many bright, talented children without the opportunity they deserve to explore their talents, learn new skills and hone their craft. Music education also includes fostering lifelong friendships, improved mental health and self-confidence, having a productive creative outlet, higher academic achievement (there's tons of research on this out there, folks, it's true!) and gaining essential life skills.

NO ONE should have to miss out on a music education solely because they can't afford it.
This fund has been created to help anyone who wants a music education get one. Please donate today. Every few dollars helps:
$5 will buy a kid a piano method book.
$20-$30 will pay for a kid to have a lesson.
$50-$150 buys someone a used keyboard or guitar on which to practice.
$500 covers a semester of weekly classes.
$2500 would cover an instrument, all associated accessories and learning materials, and a full year of weekly music lessons for 1 child.

Let's all make this a better world for our kids and ourselves.

If you, or you know a family or child who would like to apply and audition to be eligible for receipt of financial aid for the express purpose of funding music education through this fund, please see my website for more info:

Funds will be distributed twice annually, July 1 and January 1.  

Long Live Rock! (or funk or jazz or hip-hop or blues or reggae or cumbia or R&B or pop or dance or electronica or rap or country or drum n bass or metal or bluegrass or classical or.........it's all in the name of love!)
