Heberle's Heartstrings

🎶 Bringing Music to Life—One Instrument at a Time 🎶

At Heberle’s Heartstrings, we believe music should be accessible to all, not limited by income or circumstance.

We’re Erie’s first and only nonprofit music lending library, providing instruments, audio equipment, and educational resources—100% free of charge to anyone in our community. From first-time learners to lifelong musicians, we make it possible for people of all ages and backgrounds to create, explore, and connect through music.

🎸 What We Do:

• 
  

  Lend instruments and gear through our growing music library

  
  


• 
  

  Host inspiring live events, including our signature open mic competition and annual music festival

  
  


• 
  

  Support emerging artists with performance opportunities and community visibility

  
  


• 
  

  Expand access to school music programs by providing instruments to students who can’t afford high rental or purchase costs

  
  

🎁 Your Erie Gives donation helps us:

• 
  

  Grow our library to include brass, woodwind, and orchestral instruments

  
  


• 
  

  Equip students in local schools with the tools they need to participate in music class

  
  


• 
  

  Support community events and competitions that celebrate and elevate local talent

  
  


• 
  

  Keep music free, accessible, and thriving in every corner of our community

  
  

Whether it’s a child borrowing their first trumpet or a local band taking the stage, your gift helps someone find their voice through music.

💙 This Erie Gives Day, help us keep the music playing—louder, bolder, and for everyone.

Because every great song starts with access to the first note.
