"EdVestors' continued sustained and generous support has made Making Music Matters
possible. Without EdVestors, we would not have lessons for these children. For the
vast majority of children who participate in the program, this is their only chance
to learn to play a musical instrument. It is one of the most unique learning and
life-changing experiences for our students."
– Martha Watson, Teacher at Beethoven School
