About

Each year The NAMM Foundation invites NAMM members to participate in an annual Day of Service in Anaheim, CA (January) or Washington, D.C. (May) that supports the initiative of providing every child in those districts the opportunity for a well-rounded education that includes music.

"The ability to have music when you're a kid, it's a confidence booster. It's inspiring for kids to learn in a school environment." - Arielle Howell, Day of Service volunteer

Community Spotlight

It is through interaction within and through the arts that we are human. We are fortunate to provide our students learning opportunities through music. The designation of a Best Communities for Music Education award has validated the relentless work our music educators, administrators, and board of education have put forth to support the arts in our district.

- Pat Toben, Arts and Community Engagement Program Coordinator, Sioux City Community Schools

Early Childhood is critical time to support children's natural desire to sing, move and play with sound. Furthermore, research shows that music and music experiences support the formation of important brain connections that are being established over the first three years of life (Carlton, 2000).
