The Hammer Band is a free music and social development program partnering with schools across Ontario to provide musical education to children living in underserved communities where musical instruments and instruction are not generally accessible.

Within their homerooms, our students are given weekly violin classes taught by professional musicians, in addition performing occasional in-school concerts. Through this musical engagement, we build stronger communities by nurturing children from marginalized neighbourhoods, helping them to thrive and develop as team makers.

Donor support is critical to our efforts. Your investment allows The Hammer Band students to receive professional instruction playing on real instruments, to experience the joy of creative and cooperative learning, and to benefit from a supportive community.
