New Beginnings!

Hey everyone,
If you are reading this, you've popped in to take a look at the Outside the Box music program. And we appreciate it!

We have a long winded version of the program and its mandate. And we will make that available for you to read if you wish. But we want yo tell you quite simply what the program is about...

We strive to offer FREE music lessons to kids who can't otherwise afford it. 

From Los Angeles to Scotland to Venezuela, introducing children into music has proven to curtail violence and heighten academic achievements. And that is something we strive to do as a group. As musicians, We know what music has meant to us all of these years. And most of us now play  and work in music professionally. 

And with our knowledge and excitement, we really think we can offer something special to the kids of the various neighborhoods we will work in by simply offering them the chance to be creative. To dream and to wish. 

These may sound like the ideals of the flighty or wishful, but we don't approach this program with naivety. We start Outside The Box with ideals, ideals that we hope become realities. And those realities can change lives. It's really not too much to ask.
