OUR MISSION
The Heart of the City Piano Program (HCPP) strives to enhance the lives of and learning opportunities for at-risk youth through musical education.
OUR VISION
To proactively address the social issue of poverty and social justice by the advancement of a more equitable opportunity for disadvantaged youth to participate in music lessons.
The program is not only intended to give the students musical skills. Through exposure to positive role models and opportunities to perform at and attend live music performances, students will gain a sense of accomplishment, confidence, increased self-esteem. When children realize that they are capable of creating music, the whole world opens up to them. They realize that they can be a part of the beauty around them and that they are more than capable of accomplishing whatever they set their minds to.
