Instruments for Change provides a platform for student artists to utilize their passion and talent in music to effect great change in the world around them. As music has proven to be an integral component of a solid education, we organize regular benefit concerts, especially in the lower socioeconomic quartile. In a national schooling system that generally places little actual emphasis, interest, or funding in the music department, Instruments for Change strives to spread awareness of the importance of music. We also hope to support musical education for at least some of the estimated 2.1 million students who have yet to been offered one by their respective schools.
