Global Foundation)?

has shaped culture, inspired creativity, and

musicians, teachers, and students, access to

music and making it freely available to anyone

ambitious: put classical music into every
home, school, and community.
To preserve classical music and provide
free, global access to high-quality sheet
music and educational resources � ensuring
every student, musician, and community can
learn, perform, and experience the world�s
musical heritage regardless of financial or
geographic limitations.

music awareness" entail?

of the SMI library and of organizations that
offer classical music programs.

non-profit organization?
