Our flagship scholarship provides critical financial support so aspiring musicians can carry their passion into college and beyond. Created in honor of Chad Smith’s parents, whose sacrifice and support made his own career possible, the program ensures that promising students aren’t forced to stop short in their pursuit of a future in music.
Recipients receive financial assistance and supporting equipment for their studies and performances. They also receive mentorship opportunities that help them grow as artists and professionals.
Our education initiative places skilled instructors into schools and youth programs that lack music educators. It also gives aspiring music professionals valuable first-hand teaching experience, developing the next wave of educators while ensuring young students have the guidance they need.
Programs provide consistent instruction, mentorship, and access to instruments so that students who discover a love for music can continue to learn, grow, and play.
Our access programs open the door to music for students and schools that lack resources. By creating moments of inspiration and surrounding young people with the encouragement to explore, we give every student the chance to see music not just as a dream, but as a real path forward.
These programs provide instruments, create performance opportunities, and connect students with artists, ensuring they have both the tools and experiences needed to grow.
