"A student taught with music learns more than just the lesson. They enter a universe where they are become unrecognizable from who they are outside of it. The shy become confident. The anxious become calm. The outcasts become included. The quiet become heard. The lost become found. Music reveals the true inner person in all of us."

Mission

Why

Who
|
|
Our mission is to collect and distribute musical instruments to area school classrooms and students that may not otherwise have it in their budget to purchase. Offering teachers and students a hands-on way to explore and learn about musical instrument(s).
|
We all know funding for school music programs is continually shrinking, or they flat out do not have a budget for musical instruments. From pre-schools to high schools, we want to get as many schools as possible equipped with musical instruments that the kids can explore and learn to play. We want to inspire our youth with a love of making music. Playing an instrument like, guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, etc. is such an excellent alternative for our younger generations that tend to spend hours on video games, binge-watching TV, social media, and anything screen-related! Music can provide a lifetime of creative enjoyment and add a skill to anyone’s life!

My name is Troy Castellano. I am a songwriter and musician in the Nashville area. I want to do my part to give back the gift of making music! I am passionate about keeping music-making alive and passing it down through the generations. With that in mind, I started this organization called Instruments For Education or IFE for short. Instruments For Education accepts musical instruments and monetary donations. In turn, we donate instruments to area schools and students!
