MYAC Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement

At MYAC, we understand that cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture is essential to MYAC’s vision of our home where there are no barriers to every child experiencing music education as a core part of overall education.

We value diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all backgrounds, across age, ethnicity, race, color, ability, learning style, religion, faith, socioeconomic status, culture, marital status, spoken languages, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity as well as differences in ideas, thoughts, values, and beliefs.

Recognizing that individuals from certain groups have historically experienced barriers to music education, we will do everything we can to eliminate the societal and music barriers which may include access to private lessons, ensemble experiences, performance venues and financial aid.

MYAC is building a home with the power of music. Enrich students’ lives by supporting MYAC today.
