Music Teachers and Volunteers needed
The MusicLink Foundation is in need of experienced music teachers and related volunteers in Northern Virginia. With MusicLink, students (children under 18 years old) who show an interest in taking music lessons, but cannot afford full-fee lessons, are linked with qualified music teachers willing to reduce their fee by at least half to make the lessons more affordable. MusicLink teachers are able to take advantage of a variety of offers and discounts from our growing list of Business Partners as well as additional benefits directly from our foundation.
MusicLink teachers are qualified, professional teachers seeking to share their love of music with a deserving child. We have a proven 26-year history of developing the talents of promising students in financial need across the country. Quite simply, our mission is to create musicians, one student at a time. If this sounds like a program you’d like to be a part of, please see our website for more information: www.musiclinkfoundation.org.
