Mission: Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony advocates for the moral imperative of music education and music performance for youth, beginning at the earliest age possible, offered in schools or as after-school programs. We forge meaningful partnerships among music programs, corporations, and other music education non-profits, engaging supporters and music fans to become involved in working with music education programs nationally and in their communities.

Results: The Foundation weaves together the social, biological, economic, and academic benefits accrued by students who are involved in consistent instrument-based music education.

Working in harmony with our partners and stake holders, our goal is to develop and nurture strategic relationships that enhance the success of all.
