12 Days of Giving MORe

Celebrate the Holidays with Music Orchard Richmond!

Giving MORe means using the holidays as a chance to highlight the difference that high-quality music education makes in our students’ lives. With your support, we are able to expand access to FREE music lessons across Richmond. Every donation—no matter the amount—directly increases programming hours and strengthens the support our students receive.

We’re aiming to fund 50 hours of instruction, and you can help us make it happen. Every $100 you give provides one hour of teaching for our students.
