Clean
The Closet Program |
|
Very
few individuals or families can go through a closet without moving from
corner to corner that high school or college musical instrument. It
has remained silent for years and cries out for
organizations, churches, clubs and gatherings
of many kinds challenging them with the
Clean
the Closet Program. The
program puts out the challenge, collects the musical instruments and other
materials, and then stores them in a selected warehouse until they can be
shipped around the world. This project allows Music for the World to offer specific opportunities to needy individuals or groups and
know beforehand its capability for fulfillment.

The Grand Recycler |
|
Many organizations, businesses, schools,
universities, churches and other institutions are continually recycling
their musical instruments ranging from pianos (both acoustic and
electric), to band, orchestral and choral music. Music for the World stays in touch
with these organizations and allows them to donate these instruments and
other items and see the life cycle go on a few more years. |

Tour
Support |
|
Many third world musicians, as well as those
in urban areas, have the professionalism and desire to tour throughout the
world. The only impediment is financial. Music for the World provides the funding for
these groups to travel and in some cases assists on the scheduling
side.
Music for the World also offers financial support
to stateside artists who desire to tour throughout the world but also lack
the funds to make it possible. Music for the World procures support from
individuals, record labels, churches, organizations and corporations to
make this possible. |

Build
a Sound Studio |
|
In many third world countries,
recordings made outside their borders are banned. In these cases Music
for the World assists them in building their own sound studies so
local, regional and national recordings can be made.
Individuals and organization can
underwrite in full or in part the purchasing and building of these
recording studios. Technology now allows for this process to take
place with limited resources.

Short
and Long Term Music Teacher |
|
The old adage regarding the "teaching to fish"
certainly fits in regards to the enhancement of indigenous music. In
some cases, a music teacher could assist the locals in the use of
instruments as well as other technical equipment that would be made
available. Individuals, churches and others can underwrite the
financial needs of these musical envoys during their stay.

Music
Scholarships |
|
For those with the talent and acumen, Music
for the World assists in the process of schooling by offering
financial aid. Like many scholarships, this aid may be
in full or in part, depending on the need and opportunity. Throughout the world there are worthy
students waiting for support. |
