The average American spends over 24 hours every week listening to music. A Kaiser Family Foundation study reported the amount of time 8-18 year-olds spend just listening to music has doubled in the last decade. Despite this trend, there is a disjunction between music appreciation and the accessibility of musical education. 1.3 million elementary students in the United States lack access to a musical education. In addition, since 2010, 40% of high schools have cut fine arts requirements from their curriculum. A Key to Hope is a non-profit organization that strives to provide music education to children impeded by socio-economic barriers. Research has indicated that children from financially burdened households are less likely to be enrolled in meaningful extracurricular programs such as music education. Environmental factors that deter youth from engaging in their studies are prevalent in underserved school systems. This manifests as a lack of life goals, unclear purpose, and suffering mental health. Studies have proven the long-term effects of music education can remedy these issues; by way of complimenting core academics and alleviating ambient stress and trauma. A primary reason for the inaccessibility of music education is the expense of an instrument. This is why we will provide students with instruments thereby providing a creative outlet along with other latent cognitive benefits. Our vision is to empower creativity by implementing new opportunities for musical education, predicated on the science showing  that music can influence the cognitive, emotional, and social development of children. Since September of 2021, we have distributed both instruments and musical instruction to public schools, seminaries, churches, and children's homes.
