Sacramento Institute for Music and the Arts

The Sacramento Institute for Music & the Arts has been providing string education to the community since 2013 and is continually striving to provide connection to and through the arts. Another goal is to strengthen the ties between Sacramento’s classical music organizations and the community at large. 

In the pre-covid era, the SacIMA was able to reach more than 100 students annually with personalized, weekly instruction in local elementary schools, and had a thriving musical instrument library for students without instruments.  The organization is now in the process of restructuring and rebuilding so that we will are able to provide the same high quality and accessible programs to the students and families who have the least access to classical music. Currently we are offering partial scholarships to both our group and private classes, and with the community’s support we will be able to once again provide on-site classes in under-served communities.

The instruments in our library are collected and awaiting repair so they may find new homes with students in need. Through our partnerships with professional music instructors and schools we are able to identify students who would benefit from an instrument scholarship and provide them with an instrument.
