A Baby Music School Turns 1!

I love this photo so much.

It's the visual embodiment of what it's like to be a part of a recital with the Coda School of Music. Teachers laughing, kids trying to look super cool, big smiles, and so much love. 

For those of you that don't know, my friend Lacey Brown and I started a community music school with another friend Ivar Hillesland. Earlier this month, we completed our first year of official nonprofit-ness and also therefore (successfully) submitted our first round of nonprofit taxes. (Heck yes!)

The Coda School of Music exists to support the local community of music educators by providing a space to teach, collaborate, and support each other. We know when the teachers feel cared for, their students will ultimately feel that too. Collectively our teachers and students get to participate in seasonal community recitals, workshops, and other performances. It's just the coolest.

I am honored to work alongside our teachers, volunteers, and donors. It's such a blast seeing how these students get to reap the benefit of having teachers that can afford to give to their students in such holistically healthy ways.
