Music Matters

Nominate a Hudson Valley child for the Music Matters program

Many children don't have the opportunity to learn an instrument or experience the innumerable benefits of a musical education. We want your help to make a difference in the lives of children in need in the Hudson Valley.

Children deserve to pursue a musical education. For many Hudson Valley families, the cost of an instrument proves a barrier to entry. The Music Matters program breaks through that barrier.

Meet the Sleepy Man Banjo Boys, do you know a child who wants to play a musical instrument?

I have seen first hand how playing an instrument can change a life. Even save a life. Much like a sports program might save an athletic but wayward kid's life..  That's why I am so supportive of a new program right here in the Hudson Valley called Music Matters.
