Welcome to Seattle Music Partners
We at Seattle Music Partners believe that music is a powerful tool for inspiring and empowering young people.
Because music-learning opportunities are often limited or inaccessible, SMP provides a free after-school music program for underserved elementary and middle school students in Seattle’s Central District. We also provide a unique opportunity for skilled musicians to give back to their community.
We recruit, train and support skilled high school, college and community musicians who volunteer as music tutors and mentors. Through our weekly program at our partner schools, tutors lead individual music lessons and play with students in music ensembles. We also provide instruments to participants where needed.
We believe that providing a child with the opportunity to build a foundation of musical skills, coupled with the strength of a mentoring relationship, helps foster self confidence and an overall engagement in learning.
