Yesterday in Richmond, KY with Tunes Ambassadors @hancockandshouse , one brave student joined Arthur and Chris to sing in front of her classmates, and we can’t get enough. ❤
Can'd Aid donated 15 new guitars to White Hall Elementary, helping expand their growing music program and creating opportunities for students to discover their voices—both on and off the stage.
A huge round of applause for this student for beautifully demonstrating the power of music to build confidence and community! 👏👏👏

#FlashbackFriday to our instrument donation with Tyler Childers & The Food Stamps ahead of their sold-out Red Rocks run. Students in Golden, CO got to learn firsthand from these award-winning musicians why music matters, followed by a surprise performance and the exciting news that their music program would be receiving brand-new instruments — opening the door to creativity, confidence, and a healthy outlet through music.

“Thank you for donating the bikes. It made me feel loved.” ❤️
“Thank you Can’d Aid for the bike. I can’t wait to do a jump on to a rock!” 🚲
These thank you letters are what it’s all about. It’s not just a bike, it’s a tool for kids to get outside, build confidence and create healthy habits.
Surprise! New Bike Day 🚲❤️
Bikes assembled, helmets on, and summer right around the corner. Big thank you to @yasso for fueling active, outdoor fun for kids!

As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to an end, we're singing the praises of the unsung heroes who shape lives far beyond the classroom: music teachers. 🎶💛
For so many of our Tunes Ambassadors, a music teacher was the first person to encourage their creativity, self-expression, and confidence—creating a sense of belonging that stayed with them for years to come.
Swipe through to read stories from our Tunes Ambassadors about the music educators and mentors who made a lasting impact on them.

This Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re celebrating the unsung heroes who spark creativity, build confidence, and make students feel truly seen and heard... often with limited resources and outdated equipment. Their impact goes far beyond the classroom.
✨ Now it’s your turn:
Tell us about a music teacher that positively impacted your life. Drop their name, a memory, or a thank you in the comments. Let’s give them the recognition they deserve. 💐

These intimate gatherings bring people together over food, connection, and live music—all while supporting access to music education for under-resourced music programs. 🎸
Music education helps students build confidence, improve academic performance, and support mental well-being—and we’re just getting started. More house concerts are on the way!
💛 Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special kickoff. We can’t wait to keep the music going.
