What is the Peace through Music Project?

An advocate for music educators and composers. A gateway to better funding. A chance to change music education, and the world, for the better.

Mission: The Peace Through Music Project’s mission is to promote nationwide peace through music by connecting composers and music educators in a friendly and healthy community as well as gathering funding used to enrich music programs and composers around the nation who struggle financially.

It’s no secret that there are a lot of problems in the music community. Issues with music programs receiving very little funding or attention, music educators barely scraping by with low paychecks, composers overpricing music, but also composers not able to sell any music. It appears even within our own music community there is a severe lack in peace. It’s time for that to change. We must do away with the old system of arts, and we need to be there for one another so we can all prosper and focus on our passion: making music.

Peace Through Music’s entire purpose is to kickstart this culture shift and better our world through it. Though we may be few now, we are strong and passionate, and we can do this! Please consider joining the Peace Through Music Project and help us reach our goal!

What does Peace through Music do?
