You Can Bring the Power of Music to More Lives in Durango

Imagine a community where every child has the chance to discover the joy of music—no matter their age, ability, background, or family income. Picture them learning new instruments, working as a team, and creating beautiful music together. In this community, everyone has an inner musician—some simply haven't discovered it yet. Here, there’s no such thing as too old, too young, too different, or too poor to experience the pure joy that comes with making music together with friends. 

Now, imagine that you have the power to bring that community to life. 

When you give to Stillwater Music, you’re don't just support music education—you’re building a more vibrant artistic community. You’re helping us bring music to life for youth, families, and people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds through:

• Band classes for all ages and skill levels, where students and adults find their voices and form lifelong friendships

• Youth scholarships that empower students with low family income to learn music and thrive alongside their peers

• Early childhood music classes where kids ages 0-5 and their parents bond through the power of rhythm and sound

• In-school music programs for kids in schools across the region who might not otherwise have in-school music

• Inclusive music classes that bring people with and without disabilities together to learn, play, and create music and dance—the only program of its kind in the Four Corners

Your gift doesn’t just enrich individual lives; it transforms our entire community: A child learning their first notes. A teen performing on stage with their peers. An adult rediscovering their passion. No matter the musical journey, you’re ensuring that music continues to bring people together in Durango.

We’ve already touched the lives of over 1,000 students this year in the Four Corners region. But there are still more students to reach, more opportunities to create, and more music to make—and we can’t do it without you.

Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant community through music—and it all starts with you. Will you join us in making Durango more musical, more inclusive, and more connected?

Make your gift today and bring music to life for Durango’s youth and community.
