THANK YOU...11,000 TIMES OVER!!!

On July 12th we launched an online fundraiser to support tuition assistance, instrument purchase and our Elementary Strings Program. With the generous support of an anonymous donor and 55 members of the community we exceeded our goal and raised $11,007 by July 31, 2017 with more pledges still coming in!

Music Education supports language development, increased IQ, neurological activity and growth, complex task coordination, spatial-temporal skills that aid in learning math, achieving better test scores, and increasing student engagement and success. Here’s a quick look at some of the many benefits of music education from PBS Parents. 

Thank you to everyone who donated!! Without you would could not do this work. We are delighted and gratified by comments from our supporters, who talk about the importance of music education for youth and the gap we fill in meeting community needs:

Our daughter Amelie has been inspired and committed to the fun and the grit in the SFYSA and she's ready to rosin up her bow in the YPO this 2017-2018 Season, and Giselle, Dan and brother Coleman are 100% behind her and her new ensemble! ~ BRAVO ~
