Help Us Keep the Music Playing

West Bank School of Music is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to transform lives and community through innovative music education and inspiring performances.

We need your support to continue our programs. Help us preserve this school as a one-of-a-kind place to learn and make music. You can make it possible for us to keep offering dynamic programs like these:

• Scholarships for deserving students of all ages whose families meet our income guidelines.
• Discounted tuition programs for U.S. military veterans, social security disability recipients, and families eligible for school lunch programs.
• Free public concerts by our teachers and students.
• Free teacher demonstrations, workshops, and performances at public and charter schools and community centers in the Twin Cities metro area.
• New initiatives, like our 2010-2011 multi-genre workshop series and 2011 Youth Summer Band Camp.

You might choose to support our efforts by donating funds for instrument and equipment upgrades, or repairs and remodeling for our homey, but aging school building.
