About Us
Turning Up the Volume on Youth Music Education!
Savor the Sound is an artist driven youth music non-profit that creates and facilitates programs for kids from pre-k through high school. We operate on the belief that early music education improves IQ, reasoning, arithmetic, English, and social awareness while reducing the risk of dangerous behaviors later in life. We also operate on the idea that living your dreams and passions, while being fair and giving, makes the world a far better place.
Community
We work with artists, vendors, venues, schools, private institutions, media, businesses, and individuals to create a large “pay it forward” community that creates a thriving youth music education culture
