The school year looks a little different this year. With changes to school routines and an increase in virtual learning, children have also lost access to some of the most memorable and enriching parts of school: extra curriculars. See how we've adapted: linkedin.com/posts/the-hamm…

From violence to violins... music breaks down barriers and unites people. Keep playing! #socialchange

The value of #music #education! Students involved with #musiclessons in school perform better on entrance exams and standardized tests than their non-music peers.

Children who learn to play an instrument (like the violin!) and perform together learn important life skills such as self-discipline, #teamwork, and #resilience.

Such a sweet exchange during our Zoom party last week! Our Summer Jam has fostered meaningful connection and fun social opportunities for our students in such a uncertain time.

The Summer Jam has been an absolute blast. We've almost hit our fundraising target of $30,000 goal - less than $5,000 to go. Can you help us meet our goal? gofundme.com/f/thehammerban…

Our teachers are inspiring, dedicated, and incredibly talented. We're so glad we can share their passion for music with our students.
