"Why This Collaboration Matters"
The Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) runs an incredible education program that brings kids from underserved school districts into the museum. Many of these schools don’t have the funds for buses or drivers, so MIM steps in and covers those costs—just so students can experience the gift of music. When those buses roll up, everything changes.Kids get to explore the museum, hear live performances, and get hands-on with instruments from around the world. For many, it’s the first time they’ve ever seen real instruments up close or heard live music in a space built entirely for sound and creativity. Your purchase helps keep those buses moving, those doors open, and those moments of inspiration possible.
“It’s one of the most heartwarming things I’ve witnessed—watching kids light up when they experience music for the first time.” – Sarah James
