Charity Music is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Pontiac that provides low- and no-cost instruments and lessons directly to families, stating, “Everyone who wants to play a musical instrument should be able to.” The group relies on the donations of unused and used instruments, which it refurbishes. The organization also offers programs such as Beginner Band, which provides musical instruments to new students along with one-on-one and group instruction, and Sound Stage, which provides amplifiers, microphones, a drum set, and a safe environment for bands to practice.
