Bay Area Music Project is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering young people through high-quality music education, prioritizing access, equity, and social responsibility. We provide low- and no-cost music programs for children and youth ages 5-18, regardless of background or ability, to develop musical skills, confidence, and lifelong curiosity for learning. By blending rigorous instruction, ensemble performance, and culturally responsive teaching, we create inclusive spaces where youth build leadership, collaboration, and resilience. Our mission is to transform lives and strengthen communities across the Bay Area through the power of music.

At BAMP, no child or family is ever turned away because of financial limitations. All students participating receive high-quality music instruction in both small-group and orchestra settings, along with all necessary musical supplies (instruments, songbooks, etc.), a nutritious snack, and academic support throughout the school year. We empower children to discover their highest potential through musical instruction and performance experiences in a collaborative, orchestral environment that helps build confidence, compassion and teamwork.
