Your Gift Keeps the Music Playing
Every note we play and every student we reach is made possible by people like you.
When you support Roots of American Music, you help bring the transformative power of music to classrooms, adult day centers, senior living communities and publc places across Northeast Ohio where access to music is limited or non-existent.
Why Your Support Matters
Music connects us, heals us, and teaches us. But for many communities, access to music education and live performance is out of reach.
Your donation ensures that ROOTS can continue to:
Inspire students through songwriting, storytelling, and arts-integrated learning.
Enrich senior communities with interactive performances that spark joy and connection.
Bring the power of live music to communities with limited access through neighborhood concerts and community events.
Empower artists by providing meaningful teaching and performance opportunities.
Each dollar helps fund programs that change lives through rhythm, melody, and shared experience.
