Play It Forward’s mission is to ensure equal access to Music M.A.G.I.C.

We believe — and extensive research shows — learning a musical instrument fosters Mental Wellness, Agility, Grit, Independence, and Community in

children — and that’s MAGIC. Barriers like poverty, racism, and historic marginalization prevent many children from receiving instrumental

instruction. At Play It Forward, we overcome these challenges by

providing access to instruments, instruction, and inspiring opportunities

to students in need across the Pacific Northwest.
