Music is what emotions sound like. It's a language we all understand, regardless of skin color or where we call home. Music helps our human experience make sense. Now, despite evidence that music improves cognitive skills, increases feelings of accomplishment and well-being, The benefits of equitable music learning without bias seems a dream. What if we could connect our kids to resources to help them learn music online free of charge, helping them connect with the tools they need? Together we have the power to change what music learning looks, feels, and sounds like for today's youth.

You know, technology is really the key to unlocking how we can reach communities that have been impacted so, so heavily by, you know, the issues like funding and resources and how do we get, um, access to music learning in different forms. So that's really the work of what we're doing with the Sound of Humanity Music Project. The mission is to, to use technology to bring music to students, the use of streaming to reach kids, because the one thing, as I said, during the pandemic we saw You know, kids using smart devices, tablets, smartphones, you know, to access learning. Kids that were not able to go to school, A, disappeared, or B, were trying to find access to Wi-Fi or what have you, sitting in, you know, McDonald's. They were showing on the news things like that. That's really what started me thinking about how the music industry, which all of a sudden was making billions and billions of dollars on streaming. How can we put these two pieces together and try to find ways to help, you know, spark the music education so that, you know, we can bring the, the communities back getting music? Music and arts saved me when I was a kid. The fact that I had music and I had that escape as a kid, it's something that I really want to give back with.
