The MAY Foundation:
Bringing Music Education and the Performance Experience to Youth that are Underserved.

Our vision is to have a community where youth are confident and are able to meet the demands of life. To accomplish this we create an environment that provides a catalyst for a child’s creative thinking, self-esteem and personal growth through music.

Under the tutelage of professional musicians and educators, MAY ties the study of music with a performance experience to create a unique program that empowers students. We kindle a spark for self-esteem, pride and creativity. Students learn the value and rewards of sustained effort and hard work toward a specific performance goal and the achievement of excellence.  

Playing, singing and being around music are a dream of many, but only a reality for some. This program makes it a reality for many of those dreamers. Thank you for helping make this possible.

"We must support our children in every way we can. We must allow our children freedom to express themselves creatively. We must praise our children and thank them for their gift of inspiration. We must motivate our children spiritually. We must challenge our children to a higher level of achievement. We must increase our childrens' self confidence and improve their overall quality of life. So we say to our children, draw, paint, write, act, sing, dance, express and be free to dream always."
