Keep Music Alive Mission

Keep Music Alive is hosting a Musical Instrument Petting Zoo at the Westlake Porter Library on Friday June 27th from 11 am to 1 pm. We're coming from Philadelphia and need a few Cleveland area volunteers to help. These events are incredibly inspiring as you witness children interacting with musical instruments, often for the very first time. We bring acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards, ukuleles and dozens of different types of percussion instruments. If you or anyone you know might be interested in helping with one of these events please let us know. You do not need any musical experience and we offer volunteer service credit to highschool and college students. Thanks all!

About Keep Music Alive

Location:

Mission Statement

Our Keep Music Alive mission is to promote the value of music: for children's education, for the many types of therapy now utilizing music, and for our overall happiness as a society. Our goal is to increase the number of kids and adults reaping the educational, therapeutic and social benefits of playing music.

Description

Keep Music Alive is the founder of two international music holidays: Teach Music Week (3 rd week in March) and Kids Music Day (1 st Friday in October). Teach Music Week is designed to encourage musicians and music schools everywhere to offer a free lesson to new students (kids or adults). Kids Music Day is designed to encourage music schools and retail locations to hold community events featuring kids and music. In 2017 , there were over 600 music schools and retail locations participating in these two music holidays.

Kids Music Day now appears in the official Chase Calendar of Events and several large chains have participated in Teach Music Week/Kids Music Day including Guitar Center, Music & Arts, School of Rock, Music Together, Kindermusik and Long & McQuade. We are seeking volunteers to help make Kids Music Day and Teach Music Week internationally recognized holidays that serve as annual rallying points for music education.
