THE STORY:
I started the Silverlake Conservatory of Music along with a couple of my friends about 10 years ago (2001). Music has been my life for as long as I can remember. When I was in high school, I was in the orchestra, marching band and musical production band. Anything to keep myself involved.
A few years back, I had the opportunity to visit my old high school and noticed how many of the music programs were cut from when I was there. There were barely any instruments left and the music room was essentially bare.
I quickly realized that there was something I could do to help out and that's when I started the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. The mission of the Conservatory is to facilitate basic music education for the youth of the community (ages 7-17) but all are welcome and encouraged to participate.
We've been working to help gain music scholarships for children in the area. Curently we have over 200 low-income (Title 1) students on scholarship, where they receive free music lessons and an instrument.
This school has been a dream of mine for a long time. It's the kind of place I wish there had been when I was a kid. Kids need a place to go after school and in weekends where there is a positive influence and music is something that you can just throw yourself into.
Music saved my life and brought me great joy.
Please give what you can to help send a child learn music..
There are kids who really want to be here but can't afford it. We can all help.
Give 29$ and you might win an I-pad.
DO IT RIGHT NOW. HIT THAT DONATE BUTTON!!! PLEASE!!!!
Get 29 of your friends to do the same.
Please come check out the school and visit our site for upcoming events.
