Who are we?

As passionate young musicians with years of formal training, we firmly believe in the vital role music plays in enriching community life. Our dedication leads us to donate our time, providing free music education opportunities and enhancing community well-being with our complimentary performances. This commitment stems from our deep conviction that music is not just an art form but a cornerstone of a thriving community.

Our Mission

The Peabody Harmony Project is dedicated to elevating communities through the transformative power of music. We fulfill this mission by providing free music tutoring to elementary and middle school students who might otherwise lack access to musical education. Additionally, we enrich the community by performing at senior living centers, hospitals, community festivals, and similar venues, all at no cost. Our efforts are aimed not only at nurturing young musical talents but also at bringing the joy and healing power of music to diverse audiences, especially those who are underrepresented and underserved.

How to join us?
If you're a middle or high school student with a strong foundation in music and a passion for community service, we encourage you to consider joining our team at the Peabody Harmony Project. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we not only provide a platform for musical expression and service but are also qualified to validate your service hours. Join us in making a difference through the universal language of music!
