Sponsorship Program
Purchasing a proper piano or keyboard can be a large investment in itself, let alone piano lessons. Most public schools do not provide piano education, so how do children from low income communities learn to play? Piano is not only a skill of the arts, but also one of math and psychology. It develops the heart and mind in more ways than one. It takes character, confidence, discipline and imagination to be a pianist.
Our Sponsorship Program bridges the gap by providing free lessons, resources, and keyboards to elementary students from low-income communities in Virginia. We partner with local schools and churches that nominate passionate students to our Sponsorship Program. Together, we can provide access to piano education and inspire the next generation of musicians. Help us harmonize their future!

Three-Way Support System |
Private Education & Resources |
|
From the start, we build a three-way support system between the Sponsor Student’s parent, current elementary school teacher, and Piano & More to enhance student success.
Having more than one adult involved in the child's learning journey will encourage them to keep learning and progressing.
|
Each Sponsor Student is gifted a keyboard and music books to take home and practice. They are assigned to a Piano & More teacher that meets with them at their school for private piano lessons on a weekly basis.
Private education is powerful because lessons are tailored to each individual’s interests and needs. This allows students to learn faster and build confidence in their abilities.

Community |
Mentorship |
|
Sponsor students are welcomed to our community at Piano & More with free entry to any of our musical events. We regularly host recitals, open mics, and music field trips where students can share their musical abilities.
Here's an Open Mic hosted at a local neighborhood market where students can share the skills they've been learning.
|
A lot of the magic comes from healthy and strong relationships formed between student and teacher. It’s these relationships that leave a positive and lasting impression on a student for years to come.
We are so thankful to all of our big-hearted teachers who do so much for their students!

"I want to learn about music. I want to be better at something. I want to be well rounded. My tio (Spanish for uncle) and his cousin play piano on special days. They play for my family. I will listen to the piano teacher and practice a lot. I don't mind hard work. I don't give up." |

Teacher Testimonials
"Camilla is a naturally bright student. She has bloomed this year! I believe that the relationship she's built with her P&M (Piano & More) teacher, combined with the confidence she has gained due to her success with the piano, has played a big impact on her overall growth." |
""I've noticed she is more confident than she has been in previous years. It's been great to see her excitement in coming to lessons at the end of the day. She is really taking to it." |
