SEE Music Academy!

Right at this very moment there’s a child watching music videos and imitating his favorite star. Tomorrow, he will be walking to his classroom to find out the Spring Concert performance was cancelled due to budget cuts.

There are kids just like this one all over the United States. Kids that are told you are not allowed to dream because you cannot afford it.

The Amber Malise Organization is supporting Sustainable Environmental Education (SEE), a 501 ( c ) 3 nonprofit organization, to keep hope alive in our children. Combined efforts will fundraise for the SEE Music Academy to support performing arts programs all over the United States targeting socially economic challenged neighborhoods.

Studies show that children who are in music classes perform better in math, science and social studies. Grade point averages increase and gang activity decreases. The SEE Music Academy provides an open creative learning process under the direction of qualified music instructors.

Please join The Amber Malise Organization with your monetary support to the SEE Music Academy developed by Sustainable Environmental Education. Help teach a child that aspires to be a musician to one day say “it all started in my classroom – with music.”
