Play It Forward (PIF) was born from the ashes of defunded public education music programs. We work to ensure equal access to the genius within each child — to help a young person realize who or what they can or should be. This doesn’t mean everyone who takes music lessons becomes a concert phenomenon. But those music lessons from a teacher, as well as the gently-used, donated instruments that PIF distributes, help a child prepare for the future, including job interviews, college placement, leadership, and life. Regardless of income, ability, proximity or any other barrier, PIF helps unlock potential and passion. We help children realize their own brilliance and we believe the world is better for it.
