The Problem

Kids are bored and unengaged

Today's boredom looks different. Infinite scrolling in toxic digital landscapes and real-world disconnection from a sense of belonging or self-identity.

 

Boredom is more than just a temporary state of mind. It can contribute to mental health problems, risky behaviors, poor productivity, weakened social connections, and a sense of meaninglessness. Addressing boredom through engagement in meaningful, stimulating, and purposeful activities is crucial for well-being.

A lack of relevant music education in school systems

Children are being molded along an assembly line into young adults who graduate high school with no clue that they could spend their life creatively and generating purpose in their community. 

If music education doesn't align with their musical interests, how can it be affective in a post-COVID era where teachers are scrambling to get young people re-engaged in the classroom?

Uninspired kids gravitate towards dangerous coping mechanisms

If there's nothing inspring them to stay out of trouble and contribute to society, what patterns will they fall into or mimic in their surroundings?

Create pathways for expression and purpose

We’ve dedicated ourselves to creating new pathways for creative expression & purpose for underserved communities.

Help kids make beats by providing workshops, camps, and mentorships

We empower local leaders to build teams that bring studios and knowledge directly to the kids who need it most.

Fight boredom and reduce barriers to careers in music

This helps kids become engaged in learning and aware of their potential to create music and community events. Thus, fighting boredom… and empowering them to create sustainable futures for themselves doing something they love.

It all started when a group of music producers, festival throwers, and educators decided to set up an immersive music studio called “The Instrument Garden” in the campgrounds at music festivals.

One day the group was invited to bring the Garden to a school and everything changed….

"I immediately felt safe to explore what was always just a dream. That day I realized again that music is my heart's calling. I'll never forget my first time in the Instrument Garden"
