about us

our mission


We provide empowering music education and therapy services to help people reach their full potential.

We envision a community where the healing and motivating power of music is recognized and celebrated.
Music for all.

Established in 2006, Foundation Music School reaches approximately 600 students in-house each week and of those students nearly 20% receive full or partial scholarships.  We reach another 1,000 individuals each week through our outreach programs, which include our Poudre School District Early Childhood Music Therapy Program, Preschool Music Programs, Wings Easter Seals Program and our Teen Mom and Baby class.

Foundation Music School is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
