Welcome to the official Heartsong Sound School website
Our mission is to bring the gift of music to children who otherwise would be unable to afford it, by giving musical instruments and lessons free of charge to underprivileged kids 18 years of age and under.
Heartsong hopes to bring hope to the hopeless through the power of music. By teaching music to kids living on the street who have almost nothing to call their own, we can show them that they do have a voice, and we can help them find it. Heartsong will travel around the country in a converted school bus (powered by Biodiesel) spending a week or two in each town, and then moving on to the next town. It is in this way, we feel we can do the most good. We will be going directly to the source, and by staying on the road; we can have a bigger, more wide-reaching impact.
Heartsong will host various workshops, drum circles, jam sessions, performances, and private instruction. All activities will be free and open to the public; however, only kids 18 and under will be given the free instruments to keep.
By putting a musical instrument into the hands of a kid who has nothing, you give that child a voice. You give them power and hope. A reason to live, and something to look forward to. Learning that new chord, scale, song. Getting all that is inside, tearing them apart, out. That’s what music is for many people. An outlet of expression. And the streets will be filled with sweet, sweet music.
