About The MusicianShip

The MusicianShip's (TMS) mission is to empower youth and emerging musicians from historically marginalized communities throughout the DC metropolitan region and beyond by providing free music education and enrichment programs that build skills and amplify talents, resulting in positive life-changing outcomes for DC youth.  We envision a future where all young people have access to the joy and opportunities made possible by the transformational power of music.

We primarily serve young people of color (ages 6-24) in Wards 5,7, and 8.  Our programs are designed to support youth from historically marginalized communities in the District, with the goals of improving music aptitude, educational outcomes, and creating career pathways.  Through TMS Events, we host the DC Funk Parade and Wammie Awards.  Our goal is to create a circle of service so that youth are taught and mentored by regional artists, artists are honored for their creative contributions, artists have the opportunity to work as teachers, and both artists and youth have the opportunity to perform to the DC
community.

With Love & Music,

The MusicianShip
