Check out this short video from Erin & Jeremiah sharing about the positive impact Love Learning Music has had on their family.

Jeremiah and Erin wanted to share their appreciation to the Love Learning Music Family for providing music therapy, instruments, resources, and support for their family. Their story is both heartbreaking and uplifting, and our team is honored to be a part of this triumphant family story. Please stay tuned to see how Jeremiah continues to grow through music therapy. Also, we have exciting news next year regarding a new department of our non-profit; an afterschool program for underserved children using musical theater to improve their development!

2024 Highlights

In 2024, Love Learning Music had profound impacts on our local communities, serving 1,068 individuals through our music education, music therapy, and resource provision programs. Of these individuals, 192 benefitted from our music therapy program, while 796 were impacted through our music education program. Love Learning Music’s team has grown this year, now with 7 board-certified music therapists, 14 music teachers, 3 administrative staff, and over 40 dedicated volunteers.

Love Learning Music’s programs and partnerships expanded to include various organizations this year. Organizations like New Hope Academy received a full-time Love Learning Music teacher who taught all the children in the school and directed a successful end-of-year show. Special Kids, Girls Inc./YWCA, Linebaugh Public Library, and High Hopes Preschool all received consistent music therapy programming. Hermitage Elementary, East Nashville Hope Exchange, the Martha O’Bryan Center, and the Hermitage Community Center experienced the adaptive Love Learning Music education programs. During the 2024 school year, we expanded our reach within Metro Nashville Public Schools by introducing programs in four new MNPS schools.

Love Learning Music also achieved significant success in securing funding to support our mission. We were awarded a $35,000 Experience Community Operating Grant, an $11,200 Tennessee Arts Commission (TAC) Arts Access Grant for music therapy for underserved children, a $3,200 TAC ABC Grant for group music therapy sensory sessions, and a $7,285 ACM Lifting Lives grant for music therapy at Special Kids Inc. Additionally, Love Learning Music has a pending application with the United Way of Greater Nashville for two years of funding. With these accomplishments, Love Learning Music continues to transform lives and communities through the power of music.

Season of Giving

As we wrap up 2024 and celebrate giving to our loved ones, please keep in mind and in your heart:  There are still children on our waiting list to receive music therapy, and underfunded schools waiting for music education. These are opportunities for us to make a difference by providing opportunities for children in need.  Thank you for considering making your season of giving / end-of-the-year gift to Love Learning Music, it is truly changing lives and these changed lives are changing our world. Thank you.

How Does Giving Work?

Practically, we can accept donations any way you would prefer to give. The most ideal option is our donation platform provided by Zeffy. The software company covers all the transaction fees, and when you check out they ask you to donate to their company, but you can change that amount to “other” or “0%” and rest assured that 100% of your donation goes directly to Love Learning Music. You will immediately receive an email that confirms your donation and functions as a receipt for you. In that email, you will see a link to set up an account with Zeffy, that allows you to print out your donation receipts and manage monthly giving. I will also send out an annual giving summary in January so everyone has the total amount given to our non-profit this year for your tax purposes. Of course, 100% of donations to Love Learning Music are tax-deductible.

On a deeper level, the giving that we all do through Love Learning Music is having a profound positive impact on our lives as well as the children we serve. The most fulfilling thing that we can do as human beings is to give.

Please continue to join me in being the difference makers for our children, our communities, and our world. 

With deep gratitude and love, Thank you!
