Empower through Music, Inspire Success
This #GivingTuesday, all contributions to the WCO directly supported music education initiatives that inspire, teach, and mentor young musicians and music lovers in our community. Check out Luna's story.
THE MUSIC EDUCATION MATCH CHALLENGE
Every dollar donated went to our $13,000 dollar-for-dollar match challenge goal, which was achieved thanks to our generous Giving Tuesday donors!
Thank you to our amazing education supporters Anne & Tim Connor and David & Sally Allen for making this year's match challenge possible.
"You have to believe in yourself."
As part of our Super Strings program, Luna has taken free weekly one-on-one lessons with a professional violin teacher for three years. Through these lessons, she's discovered more than music – she's learned the power of believing in yourself and perseverance in learning something new.
She's made new friends through joining the Orchestra at her school, and believes that music can bring comfort to people and help us express our emotions.
