“Enrolling in lessons at Music Box is an incredible opportunity for our HMS Choir and Theatre students. It allows them to receive personalized, high-quality music instruction that enhances their skills, builds their confidence, and fosters a deeper love for music. By partnering with Music Box, we are committed to providing our students with the best resources to succeed and thrive in their musical journey. I’m so excited to see the fruits of this partnership come out in class and on stage this year!
”
“This partnership is designed to encourage our talented and aspiring youth to participate in a variety of fun, educational and musical experiences, and to support our awesome music teachers and their programs, all while enhancing music education and championing positive change.
For every HMS student that enrolls in both a music program at HMS and music lessons at Music Box, we will donate a portion of their monthly tuition to the HMS Music Programs.
Together, we can do so much more than we could on our own!”
