We want more to start, fewer to quit and recognize we play an integral part in achieving this goal. The NAMM Vision Statement says it best…. We envision a world in which the joy of making music is a precious element of daily living for everyone; a world in which every child has a deep desire to learn music and a recognized right to be taught; and in which every adult is a passionate champion and defender of that right.

We work hard AND we play hard. It’s fun to help the world make music and we make a point to enjoy it!
