Mission

We empower young people as teams of musicians, providing an environment of abundance and high expectations, and enriching our community through the joyful pursuit of excellent together.

We seek to uphold and strengthen the promising elements already present in their lives: the network of caring parents and teachers, and the desire to develop skills that make them an asset to their school communities. To this we add proven curricula, access to musical instruments, the opportunity for the children to travel outside of their local environment, and instruction at no cost to children and families, provided by professional teaching artists.

What We Do

Trenton Music Makers orchestra, meeting five days a week after school; Trenton Children's Chorus, meeting twice per week after school; Music for the Very Young, providing music class, teacher mentorship, and family engagement in Trenton's public preschools. With us, music is a platform for social development.
