You don't have to be a musician to change a child's life through music. You just have to care - and you clearly do, because you're here.
"Without this community behind them, some of these kids would never
pick up an instrument at all."
Music isn't a luxury in our schools - it's how students learn discipline, creativity, and confidence. But programs don't run on passion alone. They run on funding. And in Smithtown, that funding comes from people exactly like you - neighbors, parents, and community members who believe music belongs in every school, every year.
These aren't just numbers. Each one represents something real - a student who gets to learn, perform, and grow because you decided to give.
Every dollar makes a difference.

Every time a Smithtown student steps onto a stage, picks up an instrument for the first time, or earns a scholarship that opens a door - there's a community of people behind them who made it possible.
You're about to become one of those people.

Friends of Music of Smithtown is run entirely by volunteers. That means when you donate, your money doesn't go to overhead - it goes to students.
Grades 4-8 keep their skills sharp all summer. Your donation helps keep tuition accessible for every family that wants to participate.
Every 3rd grader in Smithtown gets their first taste of playing an instrument. Your gift helps make sure no child is left out.
We award scholarships to graduating seniors who have been active members. A gift today could open a college door tomorrow.
Music educators apply for grants to fund classroom projects that go beyond what school budgets cover. Your donation fuels their creativity.
The school year doesn't pause. Instruments need maintenance. Scholarships need funding. Summer programs need to open their doors. The students who benefit from these programs are counting on people in this community - people like you - to step up right now.
