Volunteer Stories

This section features reflections from our senior student volunteers who have dedicated during their high school years to serving the community through Love in Music.

Through their personal experiences, they share insights on the impact of music, the rewards of teaching, and the lifelong lessons they’ve gained during their time with Love in Music. Their stories are a testament to the power of service, passion, and the transformative role of music in both their own lives and the lives of their students.
