Our storyFrom one class to global impact
Inspired by one family’s journey and brought to life with the hard work of many, we’ve grown from a single music class into a nonprofit with global reach.
Our philosophyOur mission and beliefs
We’re creating a community for individuals of all abilities to thrive, express themselves, and enjoy music together.
By sharing their talents and their stories, we’re helping build a more enriching, inclusive world for all.

- Music is a transformative and empowering force.
- All flourish when we are part of an accepting community.
- Through mutual understanding and respect, we can create change.
- Music is a right, not a privilege.

The Trush family
The world changed for Daniel Trush and his family in 1997, when he fell into a coma as a 12-year-old. Their journey inspired them to dedicate their lives to serving the disability community through the power of music.
