Tucson Musicians Museum Mentorship Program

This program is a critical component of the TMM mission – to perpetuate Tucson’s unique musical heritage and culture. By partnering with public and charter schools, established music-related organizations and youth-oriented clubs and associations, TMM shall assist in the preservation of Tucson’s sound by matching qualified professional musicians with qualified young musicians, who might otherwise be unable to afford such guidance. TMM’s Mentorship Program will undoubtedly benefit interested and underserved youth in Tucson, but will also benefit deserving musicians who have so graciously given of their time and talents for so many years.
Funds raised for the TMM Mentorship Program will assist in the purchase of instruments and books for the students, and will also go toward financially compensating professional musicians, as mentors, for their time and contribution to youths’ education.
