About
Dear Friends,
Thank you to all of you for recognizing the
importance of music education in schools.
Your support makes it possible for the Gulf Coast
Steinway Society to expand its music education
programs and serve more than 30,000 children in the
Gulf Coast areas each year!
Everyone is sorely aware of the escalating cuts in
funding for public education over the last few years.
Most instrumental music classes and music education
programs have been deleted from public school
curricula; especially at the elementary school level.
As music programs have been cut from the states of
Alabama, Florida, & Mississippi, the Gulf Coast
Steinway Society has grown its programs to help fill
the gaps.
Since its establishment in 2014, The Gulf Coast
Steinway Society has been true to its mission to help
develop and support the highest quality music
programs as possible for students in our region.
As President and a Founder of the Gulf Coast
Steinway Society, along with all the members,
donors, and volunteers, I appeal to you to continue
supporting our mission. Though the Gulf Coast
Steinway Society is permitted to use the Steinway
name and logo, it receives no funding from Steinway
and Sons.
Music feeds the very soul and the Gulf Coast
Steinway Society programs provide inspiration and
education to thousands of children who otherwise
have no access to a quality music education.
Please join us at our events and concerts during the
coming year. Consider becoming a supporting
member by making a membership contribution
today, or simply make a tax deductible donation.
Together we can bring music alive for these
deserving students.
Very sincerely yours,
Dr. Kadisha Onalbayeva
