Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Many schools in 3rd-world countries lack the musical equipment and curriculum to teach piano and voice lessons to their students. They may have accomplished musicians on staff but lack resources, that is, instruments and lesson materials to accomplish this. Music Indeed's mission is to improve the quality of life for children worldwide by providing access to musical instruments, lessons, and school supplies to these schools and children.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Music Indeed works toward helping schools and teachers to enable their students to learn, enjoy, and excel in music. The beauty of this is that the children keep these skills for life. The music education needs go beyond electric piano keyboards to other instruments including electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitars, hand drums, full drum sets, sound systems with microphones, speakers, amps, and audio mixers, and even recording equipment. For some schools this enables them to build and develop an entire band and to hold public concerts to raise awareness and funds for the schools.

Music Indeed's strategies include raising public awareness through
- Local events such as the Summer Social & Jams which draw many musicians together for music and fellowship
- Social Media Marketing
- Search Engine Visibility
- Mailing Lists
- Phone Campaigns
- Fund Raising Concerts

Our Board of Directors and Board of Advisors have many talented individuals with many skills including business management, marketing, writing, fund raising, cause awareness, financial consulting, graphic and web design, audio recording, videography, information technology and security, and more. Our organization uses customer relationship management software and team project management software to enhance our efforts as well as the latest financial management and bookkeeping software.

Music Indeed was instrumental in sponsoring the first children's public gospel choir concert in the history of the country of Liberia in February of 2017. We've built school websites for awareness and promotion, and sent piano keyboards to Africa.
