Volunteers give one to three hours per week teaching disadvantaged and/or at-risk kids in piano, drums, guitar, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, violin, voice, flute and more. Teachers receive support in pedagogy, library access, and internet based teaching resources. Training is given to volunteer teachers in the area of individual mentoring as well, so that the relationships formed are significant and enduring, and transcend the music.

The Joy of Music School could not exist without the generous contribution of time and talent these individuals give to our young students.
