From September 27th to November 8th, 2025, Lumination NM offered a fun and engaging in-person piano program for youth at the San Felipe Library. San Felipe is a Native American community in New Mexico where access to formal music education and extracurricular arts programs can be limited. This initiative aimed to bring meaningful musical opportunities directly to local children, supporting both cultural enrichment and personal growth.
By the end of the session, many participants were able to play simple melodies and proudly share their progress with family and friends. This program not only promoted musical learning, but also helped strengthen community connection and provided a supportive, uplifting space for youth in the San Felipe community.
Lumination New Mexico donated a few of roll-up pianos to the students who attended the program.
