We envision an Arizona where no child loses access to music because a school closes, and no music teacher is forced to abandon their students due to funding gaps.

Our long-term vision is to make Arizona a national model for community-supported music education, where:

• Music programs survive transitions and school closures
• Teachers are compensated and valued for their work
• Students continue learning through after-school, weekend, and community-based programs
• Jazz serves as a bridge between education, culture, and opportunity

By aligning local action with UNESCO’s International Jazz Day, we elevate Arizona’s commitment to arts education on a global stage, while delivering real, local impact where it’s needed most.
