Welcome to Project Con Brio!
Irvine, California
Project Con Brio aims to provide high-quality piano lessons to underprivileged youth who may not have the financial means to pay for music training. The project not only aims to reach low-income families but also intends to bring young volunteer pianists together under a common cause. By doing so, it aims to connect children to an art form that is typically expensive and provide them with an opportunity to express themselves through music, thereby enhancing their personal artistry.
making a difference. one note at a time.
Group lessons will be conducted with a maximum of 30 students. We work hard to ensure that the ratio of volunteers to students always remains no larger than 1:5 to provide each student with the proper amount of attention.
For private piano lessons, each student will be assigned a dedicated volunteer teacher who will work with them consistently throughout the year. We believe that learning piano the right way is more important than taking shortcuts. As pianists ourselves, we know that starting the journey may be easy, but the practice and challenges that come later are hard. To succeed, we strongly encourage students to practice the concepts taught on their own, building good practice habits, retaining learning, and showing early improvements that will motivate them to continue their piano journey.
We understand that purchasing a piano involves monetary commitments such as maintenance fees for tuning, relocation, string replacement, and so on. Therefore, we provide practice devices such as paper keyboards (two octaves) for beginners, and later a small electric keyboard for the more proficient students.
We aim to inspire young people to pursue their goals, even if they seem difficult to achieve. Our goal is to bring joy to the lives of these children. By donating, you can help make their musical dreams come true and introduce them to new forms of self-expression. As students who enjoy playing the piano to relieve stress, we believe that our nonprofit is worthy of investment.
All donations will be used to purchase new equipment, music, and theory books for our students. We understand the importance of providing a good learning environment for our students and believe that with adequate resources, they can excel. Therefore, every contribution, no matter how small, gives each underprivileged child a chance to succeed.
