Who We Are
MusicAid began in May 2023 in Montgomery County, Maryland. We aim to help our community with free music services and support kids in need with scholarships. Our student volunteers, from kindergarten to 12th grade, use music to make a positive difference.
Our programs includes complementary piano accompaniment, free music lessons for kids and seniors, live concerts at nursing homes, hospitals, schools, and public places, and chamber music performances.
In just a year, MusicAid has become one of the most important non-profits in the DMV area. Now, MusicAid is opening a new chapter in Lexington, MA, aiming to become a major non-profit in the eastern U.S.
