MusicLink Foundation

Our Story

MusicLink Foundation began in 1992 as a program of the Virginia Music Teachers Association, aiming to connect students in need with professional music instructors willing to offer low-cost lessons. Initially focused on the DC metropolitan area, the program identified students through school music teachers, using eligibility for free or reduced lunch as a guideline for financial need. After six successful years, MusicLink expanded nationally in 1998 with support from the Music Teachers National Association Foundation. In 2001, it became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, allowing for greater funding opportunities and broader outreach.

Impact

MusicLink has successfully linked over 8,000 students with professional music teachers, providing more than 550,000 instructional hours and over $16 million in scholarships. Remarkably, 99% of students aged 18 and older who have participated for four years have gone on to college.
