Sponsor Step to the Beat
Your support will enable the Midori & Friends team of staff, artists, and Board Members to serve more than 10,000 students annually. From tiny tots (age 3!) to teens, we empower students, equipping them with tools and confidence to learn a musical instrument. We don’t build walls with auditions; we open doors by bringing music education to underserved NYC communities, especially low-income areas and Title 1 schools. We amplify diversity through the universal language of music by unlocking hidden talents, challenging social barriers, and giving every child a chance to shine. We champion inclusivity through music by casting a wide net, and welcoming students of all backgrounds with open arms and open ears.
