Who are We?

Symphonic Pioneers is a student-led non-profit organization that seeks to solve the disparity of music access and education by connecting current students at the Ohio State University with underserved youth.

We strongly believe that music has the power to inspire, educate, and strengthen young minds, regardless of their socio-economic background.

Music Empowers Youth

Our Mission

Symphonic Pioneers aims to provide underprivileged youth with free musical education, unlocking their creative potential and fostering a lifelong love for music. Through the dedication of college student volunteers, we aim to break down barriers and spread musical access, empowering young learners to thrive and make a positive impact in their communities.

Our Technique

Our volunteers present a wide range of knowledge in musical instruments and are instructed and guided by other students in the Ohio State music department on how to educate youth. Interested youth select an instrument they are passionate about and our volunteers teach the foundations of these instruments.

They share their expertise, offering step-by-step lessons that cover everything from basic techniques to more advanced skills.
