Students Are Our Priority
Music makes kids happy and we love to see our students smile. MusiCan orchestrates programs to bring children and music together. It’s simple: more students playing music equals more smiles. Isn’t that music to your ears?
About Us
Our Mission
We have moved our in-school music programs to Distance Learning for New York City’s at-risk school children until further notice. Please help us keep our music programs running through these difficult times. Please donate today!
MusiCan offers a variety of music programs to New York City children from disadvantaged neighborhoods to equip them with the discipline, confidence, and team-building skills necessary to reach their full potential. Our focus is on schools with scarce resources and where other music programs are not available.
Our Vision
- To provide our programs to as many children as possible in New York City schools who would otherwise not have exposure to music.
- That children involved with MusiCan will enter adulthood believing in themselves as they have developed the personal discipline and collaborative skills needed to succeed in life.
- To provide MusiCan programs to the New York City public schools with the greatest need, and ultimately have those schools incorporate music as part of their curriculum.
- To nurture students of all skill levels, foster those who have special talents, and lead them on a path to success through music.
- To work with MusiCan students, alumni, and supporters who recognize music as a way to help underserved communities and children.
- To go the extra mile by combining passionate teachers and enthusiastic children to achieve the greatest possible impact on MusiCan students.
