Commitment to Music Education

Austin Music Center has established relationships with schools in the public and private sectors throughout the Oak Park and River Forest community as well as in Chicago and the surrounding areas.

 

Many of the teachers and schools in the community order books, supplies and accessories so they are available and in stock at Austin Music Center. Parents know where to purchase the items and the students are prepared for lessons. 

 

PING (Providing Instruments for the Next Generation) is a volunteer organization that provides the opportunity for all students to participate in band and orchestra in the local schools and reap the rewards of music education. Austin Music Center repairs and refurbishes instruments for PING at a discounted rate, so there are instruments available for students who might not be able to afford the expense.  Austin Music Center is proud to be a part of this program. https://sites.google.com/site/pingoprf/our-mission
