This year, Project STEP’s Giving Tuesday campaign is raising important funds so our students can take part in transformative competitions, festivals, and advanced learning opportunities.
Competitions and festivals like Sphinx Detroit and Equity Arc, along with other prestigious performance and educational programs, are where talented young musicians are tested, inspired, and seen. Just as important are the life-changing opportunities that help students prepare for their next chapter, like rehearsals and recordings for college auditions.
We already have several students applying for Sphinx, a call out to students for Equity Arc, and many others looking forward to upcoming opportunities.
They challenge themselves.
Prestigious programs push student boundaries beyond what they thought they could do. Competing and performing at this level builds discipline and confidence that last far beyond the stage.
They expand their musical horizons.
At festivals and advanced programs, students learn from new musical artists and work alongside peers from other communities.
They represent Project STEP on national stages.
When our students step onto these stages, they carry our community with them. Every performance shows what is possible when we invest in excellence.

The faces span decades, but the message is the same:
Opportunity matters.
Representation matters.
Excellence matters.
Give the gift of music.
