THe mission

Young Musicians face many barriers to entry when trying to enter the music field. These can be anywhere from sexual orientation, gender identity, race to physical ability. Cordero Music seeks to tear down those barriers and provide all young musicians with the tools to succeed in the music industry.

We offer sponsored private lessons with vetted music coaches. Musicians can take these lessons during their music elective in school (with permission of their teacher), at home, or at the coach’s studio space.

We offer sponsored musical instruments! Musicians who can’t afford a quality instrument must submit an application with essay questions answered and one recommendation letter from a mentor, teacher, coach, or family member. Musicians are then provided with the equipment they need to be successful.
