More than a music lesson.


SCROLL DOWN

More than a music lesson.


 

“The true purpose of arts education is not necessarily to create more professional dancers or artists.

It’s to create more complete human beings who are critical thinkers, who have curious minds, who can lead productive lives.”

- Kelly Pollack

Celebrating 10 Years of UpBeat!

After 10 years of inspiring our students through the arts, we're taking a look back at the history of UpBeat. We're excited to keep teaching young people to find joy in music. Thank you to our students, families, and supporters through the years for helping us to make such an impact.


Thank you to our past Corporate Sponsors!


Support UpBeat!

UpBeat Music and Arts’ mission is to help students reach their full potential in life through music, and to provide this opportunity to as many students as possible. The generosity and support of our community helped UpBeat to provide over 110 scholarships last year.  Scholarships are provided, based on financial need, to ensure a quality music education for under-resourced students.

Please consider donating to UpBeat so we can provide better resources and more scholarships for our students!
