Our Story

Mission: Your Stage Your Music, for Education Inc. will be hosting an annual Music for Schools Tour. We also will be filming an annual documentary on the impact of our tour and the funds raised for each school music program before and after, to see the impact it has made on the students, parents, principal and their communities. Our financial goal is to raise up to $20,000 for each school performing on the tour.

 

We are looking to solicit money for a total of 20 public, private, or charter junior high and elementary schools annually. Each school that participates on our tour, will co-host a concert. The school band will open up each concert performing for one set, then two local / well known bands or singer will perform two more sets. The genres of music that will be performed in their auditorium are Jazz, R&B, and classic Soul. The Music for Schools tour will take place over the course of 20 weeks, 10 weeks from June - August and 10 weeks from February - April, each performance will be held once a week for 2 1/2 hours.

 

Schools that are chosen will be within the five boroughs of New York City, State of New Jersey and the rest of the Tri-state area. Our hope is to expand our tour nationally and then internationally to other schools. All concerts will be held within each school auditorium. Each week a concert will be held in one of the chosen schools.

 

The Music for Schools Tour was created to solicit funding to save, expand, maintain or create music programs for every school and also to teach music at every educational level around the world.


The Impact

Music programs nationwide are in danger. State and local legislators are attempting to make up for funding shortfalls in this difficult economy by cutting education budgets, which can place school music at risk. Advocacy takes place on many fronts, and advocates for music education need to learn to speak to different audiences, each of whom has a key contribution to make. Now's the time to get involved and do our part to ensure that not only Americas students but schools around the world have access to a comprehensive, sequential music education taught by exemplary music educators!


Music is what expresses pure thought.  Music on its own can change the very mood of a persons thoughts and day. A new song can play and the very feel of it can give you power and the feeling you can accomplish anything. Every form of music has its way of affecting us. Children at an early age need music programs at school to know they have a choice to be involved in this form of creative expression and show how music creation influence peoples lives.
