Share the Music Program
Changing lives through the power of music.
Music is an art that brings out the creativity of an individual from the youngest child to the oldest adult. Share the Music was created in 2012 to foster the love of music and to teach the skills needed to play an instrument to students in our community who may not otherwise have the opportunity.
Share the Music is an outreach enrichment program for students. The primary goals of this educational initiative are to make it possible for students to enjoy JSO concerts and to enhance their musical study on an instrument, which includes:
Private lessons with a professional musician
Instrument rental
Instrument repair
Instruments have been donated to the JSO and are available for use by students who are recommended to the program by their school music teachers.
To donate an instrument, make a donation, or if you are a music teacher who has a talented student who would benefit from private lessons, please contact Matthew Stombaugh at the JSO Office at 814-535-6738.
Students who are interested in low cost or free instrument lessons should fill out the application.
