Free Musical Instruments from Nonprofit Charity Music

Wise is the Gift of Music

Wise is the Gift of Music

Confucius said "Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without." St. Francis of Assisi said "For it is in giving that we receive." Combining the sage advice of these wise men helps us to understand the passion and commitment of the people behind Charity Music.
 Charity Music is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public service organization whose mission is to help cultivate the next crop of upcoming artists. They do this by providing musical instruments on loan, at no charge, to individuals wishing to explore their hidden musical talents. Students, senior citizens, community groups, and military personnel have benefited from the program, receiving musical instruments they would not otherwise have been able to afford.

Advantages to Students

There is a large and growing body of research evidence which shows that students participating in musical instruction enjoy a number of advantages over their non-musical counterparts, even when overcoming social and economic obstacles. For example, university studies conducted in Florida and Georgia show that they tend to perform better on standardized tests, and get better grades in reading, math, language arts, and science. A University of Texas study indicates that they are less prone to alcohol abuse and are emotionally healthier in general. And consider this - according to a study conducted by noted educational researcher Peter Wood, music majors have the highest percentage of acceptance into medical school - 50% higher than biochemistry majors for instance.

I am a young man in song ministry for the glory of Christ Jesus in this end time. I love the style of Don Moen in Minstry of song. he has been a gift to our generation. With God-given vision and direction, I have been seeking his face for musical instruments to make melody for God and make gospel to the places it had been restricted. I believe God can use you to donate. You are Blessed. Amen. e-mail: agboolasunday@ymail.com

We are a Church Choir full of desire to spread the gospel via music but short of musical instruments. Truly, some of the few we have is absolete. If God has given you the grace to donate some musical instruments to us please do so. Email: csmovt5choirilorin@yahoo.com
