IMPACT
We're transforming lives through music.
We provide opportunity and widespread access to the benefits of music through our completely tuition-free model.
Through intensive instruction and performance, our students achieve excellence in music that transfers to other areas of life. They grow musically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually and develop a foundation of responsibility, self-esteem, resilience, and purpose.
OUR IMPACT
Our goal is to create the conditions that give every student that joins TPMS an opportunity to persist in a long-term journey of growth and progress in our program.
