MusicLink Foundation

Music does more than teach children how to play an instrument, it helps shape how they learn, grow, and connect with the world.

Studies show that music education can support memory, language development, creativity, discipline, and emotional well-being. Every lesson is an opportunity to build confidence, strengthen critical thinking skills, and inspire a lifelong love of learning.

When we invest in music education, we invest in brighter futures for our children. ❤️

Music has the power to change lives, and you can help make that possible. Explore ways to connect talented students with life-changing music education opportunities by visiting www.musiclinkfoundation.org/how-to-participate/ 🎶

☀️🎶 Summer is here, and we’re excited to welcome a new wave of young musicians to MusicLink! 🎶☀️

As school winds down, summer is the perfect time for students to discover a new passion, build confidence, and stay creatively engaged through music education. In particular, we are seeing a new wave of more guitar 🎸 and piano 🎹 students into our program. We're excited to continue connecting passionate young learners with dedicated music teachers. 🎵

*Also*, thanks to the continued growth and popularity of MusicLink, we are currently welcoming only students ages 7 and older into the program. We’re incredibly grateful for the amazing support from families, teachers, and communities that allows us to keep expanding opportunities for music education. 🙏

If you’re a parent looking for a meaningful and inspiring activity for your child this summer, we’d love for you to learn more about what we do!

We did it--we reached our goal of 8500 MusicLink students!

Ryker is proud to be the 8500th MusicLink student, starting his studies on the banjolele under the direction of his teacher, Sandra Girouard. Ryker will also be steeped in the rich traditions of Old-Time Music--an essential thread in Alabama's cultural and musical heritage--all while developing a strong foundation in musicianship skills and playing technique!

Congratulations to Ruth Borash (MN), MusicLink Laureate, on this incredible milestone! 🎉 With over 20 years of dedicated teaching through the MusicLink Foundation, Ruth’s impact continues to inspire students and educators alike. We’re so proud to celebrate her commitment to making music education accessible for all. 🎶 Thank you for sharing this special moment with us, Ruth. We’re honored to recognize your legacy!

The MusicLink Foundation loved connecting with so many incredible teachers at our booth during the MTNA Convention in Chicago (March 21–25)! 🎶A special thank you to Regional Coordinators Corine Maldonado (SC) and Alissa Ruff (SW) for joining Executive Director Joanne Haroutounian and National Director of Coordinators Sue Wege. Your passion and dedication made this experience even more meaningful. We’re inspired by the connections made and can’t wait to keep the momentum going!

☀️🎶 As Summer Approaches, Keep the Music Going! 🎶☀️

With the school year winding down and summer just around the corner, routines start to shift--but a child’s growth doesn’t have to slow down. In fact, this time of year is one of the most important opportunities to keep young minds engaged, inspired, and learning. 🌱

Music education plays a powerful role during the summer months. It keeps creativity flowing, builds discipline, and gives kids a meaningful outlet while school is out. For many parents, it’s also a chance to invest in something that lasts. 🎹

That’s where MusicLink Foundation comes in. We bridge the gap by connecting students in need with dedicated teachers who provide quality music lessons--making high-quality music education accessible, regardless of financial circumstances. 💛

Whether you’re a parent looking to keep your child engaged this summer, or a teacher ready to give back and inspire the next generation, we invite you to learn more and get involved:
