Hallmark moment 😊 My daughter joined band this year in hopes of following in my footsteps 🙏 she has wanted to play the Saxophone since she was in 3rd grade. Right when it was time to purchase the instrument I had just lost my job and was having a very hard time finding a new one. She loves her saxophone so much and if I could give you all 10 stars I would!!!! Thank you all for making her dream come true!!!

This is a wonderful organization with the great mission of helping students obtain access to music instruments. I found them by accident trying to find a place to repair my son's saxophone in time for his first ever school band concert. Allison, the repairs manager was so kind and helpful. She quickly made a repair to his sax and now he's ready for his concert! I'm happy to find out about the The Gift and of Music Foundation and happier still to make a donation to contribute to their mission.

Absolutely amazing!!! Some of the nicest and most professional people I’ve meant in this business. Jen is an absolute joy and Allison is incredible, took care of everything and answered all my questions for me. Love what they’re doing there. Will definitely be coming back soon!!

After purchasing a discounted musical instrument, I was treated to a quick tour of their facility. This non profit foundation looks organized and well managed. I learned their greatest need is musical instrument donations and any gift to their organization means a beginning music student has the opportunity to receive a reconditioned, heavily discounted instrument. What a gift to us all !
