Removing Barriers, Creating Opportunities
For many, the cost of instruments, supplies, and private instruction can be an obstacle to participating in our school’s prestigious music programs. The JSB Fund bridges this gap by providing:
Private Music Lessons: Weekly instruction at local staples like Downtown Sounds and the Northampton Community Music Center.
Essential Supplies: Funding for instruments and unexpected maintenance costs.
Expanded Horizons: Funding for music class field trips to professional performances and educational excursions.
Our local educators identify the students who will benefit most, ensuring that talent and passion—not financial resources—define a student’s musical future. Every ticket purchased goes directly toward these scholarships.
