Our Mission
To help underserved talented children
realize their Artistic Dreams.
To provide positive, opportunities for underserved students of all skill levels
to explore their interest in music
One of the important lessons we’ve learned is that all successful youth arts programs do three things: first, they provide positive adult role models; second, they give youth the opportunity for achievement and, ultimately, recognition for this achievement; and, third, they enable youth to interact with people who have healthy beliefs and consistent standards for behavior. Programs designed to achieve these outcomes are best able to provide the opportunity that youth need to develop positive behaviors.
What We Offer
Our organization can provide support including the following:
-
Instruments, either outright purchase
or rental. -
Additional lessons as the music instructors may recommend.
-
Travel expenses for performances
-
We offer lessons in Piano, Percussion, Guitar,
Voice, violin, Cello, Bass, Horns & Woodwinds.
Eventually, our plans are to expand into other art forms such as dance, theater, visual art, and possibly even literary arts.

Great Quotes
“Music education opens doors that help children pass from school into the world around them – a world of work, culture, intellectual activity, and human involvement.
The future of our nation depends on providing
children with a
complete education
that includes music.”
– Gerald Ford,
Former President of the United States
“Students who have
arts rich experiences in school do better across-the-board academically, and they also become more active and engaged citizens,
voting, volunteering,
and generally participating at higher rates than their peers"
Rocco Landesman,
Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts

How your donation(s) will help
1. All donations can be specified either to go straight to the Red Tie Kids account. This is money that never sees the general operating fund.
2. Unspecified donations go into the general fund to help pay for the artists, promotion and production costs. All profits from our activities end up in the Red Tie Kids fund anyway.
“Children who play the violin or study piano are learning more than just Mozart. A University of Vermont College of Medicine child psychiatry team has found that musical training might also help kids focus their attention, control their emotions and diminish their anxiety.”
