Our Mission and Our Vision

OUR MISSION
To be a community-minded music program providing the transformative joy of musical performance through in-school lessons.
OUR VISION
To empower children with life-skills through free violin lessons, nurturing creativity, teamwork, and personal growth.

The Hammer Band is a free school-day music and social development program that partners with schools across Ontario with the goal of providing musical education during school hours to children living in underserved communities, who may not have access to real musical instruments or instruction.
Our students are given weekly classes at their school, where they learn the violin from professional musicians. We build stronger communities by enabling children from marginalized neighborhoods to grow and thrive as engaged team members and future leaders.
At The Hammer Band, donor support is critical. Your investment allows The Hammer Band students to play real instruments, receive instruction with professional musicians, and benefit from a community of support.
