Project Title: Music STEPS
Project Description:

Music instruction for 393 students as young as two (Early Childhood) through 5th grade programs in fifteen locations across Broward and Miami-Dade Counties.

Weekly after-school music training and instruments for students across fifteen locations fosters continuous musical development and accessibility.

In addition to orchestral training, FYO seeks support from the Hermanowski Foundation to help us continue and expand our Music STEPS program. Your sponsorship will be used to provide:

• Instruments and Accessories: Ensuring all students have access to high-quality instruments and necessary accessories.

• Educational Resources: Supporting the purchase of music scores, educational materials, and tools for both in-person and virtual learning environments.

• Development Opportunities: Facilitating workshops, masterclasses, and coaching sessions with professional musicians to inspire and develop our students’ talents.

Summer Music Camp (Ages 4 – 16): Provides an intensive two-week music training for over 50 students. Scholarships are provided students from under resourced communities. We ensure that no talented individual is turned away due to financial constraints, with 15% of students receiving scholarships or financial aid.

Total Project Budget: $256,793
