We are a non profit organization whose primary goal is to foster a deeper understanding and love for music everywhere. Our Mission The purposes of The Village Music School Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity, are manifold. We seek to foster a love of music in its many incarnations, jazz, folk, rock, and classical through various avenues and projects. It is our belief that participation in music, particularly learning an instrument, is the best vehicle for achieving that understanding. This Foundation is the nonprofit sister of The Village Music School, which also does business as Musical Associates. First, the Foundation allows families who cannot afford the lessons that are provided through The Village Music School an opportunity to participate at a lower dollar figure.
