Five years ago, Save The Music, the Newark Board of Education and an amazing coalition of community partners began a journey to advance music education in Newark, NJ. By the end of this year, we’ll have invested in 45 schools, extending access to offerings to 98% of the district’s studentsup from 53% when we first started!

Wyclef has always been an incredible supporter of Save The Music including visiting students at grantee schools in Philadelphia and Newark as seen in this video. Thank you for being a strong champion of the arts! #MusicSaves

"Arts education has also been linked to not only higher GPAs and SAT scores but lower suspension and dropout rates. What’s more, young people who study the arts consistently demonstrate higher levels of empathy, social tolerance and civic engagement. Are any qualities more needed in the United States right now?" #MusicSaves

Did you tune into the #SuperBowl last night? We loved HER Music's rendition of America the Beautiful. An avid #SaveTheMusic supporter, she performed with students from NYC grantee school, Thurgood Marshall Academy, at Lincoln Center two years ago!

Today, we celebrate #DillaDay to honor the life of James Dewitt Yancey. The first and only hip-hop producer ever to influence and affect the way traditional musicians play their instruments, he is the namesake of our J Dilla Music Tech Grant. May his legacy continue on in the students he inspires <3
