OZONE Music Gifting Program
“The number and quality of musical instruments,
along with materials, are high on parents’ lists of
“must haves” for a quality program.
But many teachers report that
these essentials are in short supply.”
—NAMM Foundation
The OZONE Music Foundation is dedicated to providing education, mentorship, and support to aspiring musicians and industry professionals, helping them develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed. In 2019, the Foundation launched the OZONE Music Gifting (OMG!) program, a community-driven initiative that gives students ages 10 to 18 the opportunity to earn a musical instrument while receiving guided lessons. More than just providing instruments, OMG! is committed to equipping students with the resources, encouragement, and support they need to continue their musical journey and grow their talents.
Ways You Can Get Involved!
Donate an Instrument
Grab that gently used instrument you have taking up space and offer it to a teenager that can use it to begin their musical journey!
Contribute
I don’t have any instruments to donate but I would like to make a cash donation so someone in need can have the chance to develop a music career!
Apply to OMG!
Earn it. Play it. Own it. For Life!
Earn 10 Group Lessons and a loaner instrument while you learn and maybe play on our stage?
“Growing up, my parents struggled to purchase my first drum so that I could pursue my fascination with music. This represented a true burden for my family and I know there are other children today whose family’s would like to give the lifelong gift of music to their children but simply cannot.
I want to help those children.”.Michael Blache – CoFounder / OZONE Music Foundation
