The mission of Blue Bear School of Music is to empower people to play the music they love. At Blue Bear, we believe that everyone, regardless of the school they attend, the neighborhood that they live in or their financial capacity should have equitable access to playing music.
A donation to Blue Bear’s annual Feed the Bear campaign enables us to bring free music education to schools, community centers and family shelters, making our impact, one note at a time.
