“Empower a Rising Star (EARS)” is a program that provides music lessons to deserving students in grades 4-11. We’re calling on individuals, organizations, and businesses to partner with us by sponsoring music lessons for young, aspiring musicians.

For just $250, you can sponsor ten (10) music lesson sessions for a student, helping to nurture their talent and open doors to opportunities they might not otherwise have. The program kicks off in October 2024, with sponsorships being accepted on a rolling basis.

Once all sponsorships are secured, we will tally the funds and distribute scholarships to current and new students. Priority will be given to those who demonstrate financial need, ensuring that your generosity reaches those who need it most. Sponsors can also support more than one student, with each additional sponsorship costing $250 per student.

“We are incredibly excited to launch the ‘Empower a Rising Star’ initiative,” said Annette Buffer, President of MVAA. “This program embodies our mission to make music education accessible to all children, regardless of their financial circumstances. By sponsoring a student, you are not just funding lessons but investing in their future, dreams, and potential.”
