The Music Resource Center

GET INVOLVED

The MRC needs you! We survive only because of support from the communities we serve, and there are plenty of ways to help.

VOLUNTEER

With so many kids attending every day, the MRC can benefit greatly even from something as simple as the presence of another adult. Even if you're not a musician, we'd love to have you stop by to help run our check-in procedures or help us stay organized. And if you're musically inclined, even better! There are plenty of opportunities to help our members with songwriting and recording.

TEACH

We try to adapt our services to meet the needs of our members, but we're going to need help if we're going to be able to respond to every instrument that a member may have an interest in. No matter what your instrument of choice may be, if you're willing to help teach, we'd certainly like to keep your number handy so that we're ready when a potential student does show up.

At the moment, we are in serious need of guitar, piano, and drum instructors. Please call 434-979-5478 or come by if you can help.

DONATE

Despite our slim budget, we want to give our kids the most fulfilling music-making experience possible. Any old instruments, amplifiers, or other musical equipment you may have would definitely be put to very good use at the MRC.

The most important items on our current wishlist include:

- acoustic treatments
- shelving and storage units
- amp simulation devices (ie Line 6 Pod)
- recent Apple desktop and laptop computers
- flat-panel LCD monitors
- powered subwoofers for live sound use
- music software packages (Logic, ProTools, plug-ins)

We are always on the lookout for any gear we can find -- mics, cables, stands, strings, processors, speakers... if sound can come from it, pass through it, or come out of it, we'd love to have it. As a non-profit organization, we will be able to provide the documentation needed to make your donation tax deductible. Please call 434-979-5478 or come by if you have anything you'd like to give. We can also accept donations online.
