IT STARTS WITH M.E.

Share Your Story. Join The Movement.

Does music make you feel alive? Let’s talk about it!

“It Starts With M.E.” aims to jump start a conversation about the importance of music education. Did you know that in some parts of the country, music is being silenced in school and communities due to a lack of funding, resources, or support? The CMA Foundation exists to combat that shortage, but we need your help.
