Hear it from our Mentors, Parents, and Teachers

“M.E. has been a great experience for me – I learn from my student every day! She’s taught me how to make more time for music & stick with it even when practice gets rough. I’m so thankful to be part of this organization!”
– ME Mentor, NCSU Chapter
“Henry loves his instructor and has an increased confidence in music (and in general) due to these lessons. Additionally, his curiosity in music has exploded.”
– ME Parent, RN Harris Elementary
“Xavier played his guitar yesterday during class as a way to ‘center’ himself after a difficult conversation. A confirmation of the power of music & mentoring in the lives of our children at risk!”
– Music Teacher, RN Harris Elementary
“My child’s mentor has such a positive attitude. She always tries to make a connection or recall previous experiences/comments at the beginning of each lesson. She always finds a positive comment even if it was a tough lesson or didn’t have a lot of time to practice.”
– ME Parent, NC State Chapter
“Musical Empowerment is a wonderful organization! I’ve learned more about myself through teaching than I ever have before. It’s great to pass on my knowledge & keep music alive.”
– ME Parent, WFU Chapter
