OUR STORY

Beats for Kids started during COVID-19 pandemic, economic recession and civil rights movement in 2020. A small group of melomaniacs were inspired to help kids to pursue their passion in music. We come from different backgrounds in music, technologies, education and entrepreneurship. We share the same core value to give back to the world.

Even though “Beats for Kids” was established in 2020, my story began in 2010 when my beautiful baby girl was born. My daughter was diagnosed with Congenital Hydrocephalus as a complication of bleeding, an injury that leads to neurological, physical, emotional, behavioral and learning disabilities. I have tried many traditional and occupational therapies and clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area that specialize in treating children with neurological conditions and developmental delays.

I spent years searching for the right therapy and treatment and found that music and arts is what makes a difference in my daughter’s overall development and quality of life.

  • Singing helped her speech stimulation and improved pronunciation, articulation, projection and recall of vocabulary.
  • Listening to music helped boost her communication, improved areas of concentration and memory.
  • Performing helped her boost her confidence, be more expressive and empathetic.

Today...

As a parent there isn’t any bigger joy to see my child smile, thrive and be happy!

WHAT WE DO

Beats for Kids is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides music and arts programming for underprivileged youth in a pressure-free environment that’s made for them.

With a deep appreciation and understanding of the power of music and arts, Beats for Kids offers programs centered around personal connection, building self-confidence, and providing hope to those who need it.

At Beats for Kids, we believe in a different approach. We believe in an emotional, relational approach centered around human connection.

We know that a regular music program isn’t good enough to provide the kind of care and attention we want to give our students. We also know that they can’t thrive in just any environment - they need a place, and a program, tailored to their needs. We provide our students with an outlet they might not have anywhere else. We provide the people who care about them, and the knowledge that there are other options, as well as people out there who care about their children’s quality of life.

Our experienced instructors offer beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons in electronic music and digital arts. We realize that not everyone can afford musical instruments, software or other equipment - this is why we provide kids with the tools they need to succeed.

Beats for Kids focus is to promote the emotional and intellectual value of music and arts in the lives of children. Most of all, we know that our students, and the community as a whole, are capable of anything.
