SchoolS

The instruments that Bringing Music to Life collects and refurbishes are awarded to school music programs so they can provide opportunities for generations of students. Since its inception in 2009, 8,700+ instruments have been awarded to 330 schools, benefitting more than 20,000 students across Colorado.

School Applications

​Each spring, we invite schools to submit an application that outlines the type and number of instruments that would most benefit their music programs. We then match instruments to qualifying schools based on items received during the Instrument Donation Drive. 

Schools that qualify for instruments will be notified in early June regarding the type and number of instruments they will receive. Instruments will be awarded in mid-August.

Instrument Presentation

Each August, we host an annual Instrument Presentation Event. Music teachers from qualifying schools come together to receive their instruments for the coming school year, network and celebrate the successes of their school music programs.
