Big Joe Duskin Music Education Foundation

Mission Statement

The Big Joe Duskin Music Education Foundation is an Ohio non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the memory and ideals of Big Joe Duskin, who passed away May 6, 2007. Big Joe was quite possibly the premier boogie-woogie pianist of all time. One thing Joe loved to do was perform in-school educational music presentations. He also regularly advised students to study the local professional musicians around them, rather than a few well known players, to get a better breadth of knowledge. To honor Joe, our foundation has one and only one goal:

"To produce as many in-school educational music presentations as possible, in as many schools as possible, to reach as many children as possible, using local professional musicians."
