Angelica's eyes shone like the sun. At six years old, she had never yet seen a flute up close. As she gazed longingly at the shiny instrument I held, I offered, "Would you like to hold it?"

She did. 

She took up the silver pipe in her little hands, guided by her father and myself, spellbound by it. This came after a one hour outreach concert that was brought directly to the lobby of her apartment building by Silentwoods Collective. What began as a typical Saturday became to Angelica and others an exciting first. 

Silentwoods creates pop-up concerts and educational events like these because we believe every child should have access to music education. In addition, we offer the Silentwoods Scholarship fund to provide private music lessons to children whose families could otherwise not afford it.
