Give a gift today that is guaranteed to dramatically change lives in a way that only music performance training can!

Historically, music education has focused primarily on the nuts and bolts of the music itself – notes, scales, rhythms, and techniques. But when PERFORMANCE training is added into the mix, the results are truly incredible! Young musicians who develop the ability to perform successfully on the music stage gain the ability to perform successfully at the next stage, whatever that may be. And in the process, they engage large audiences that ensure a bright future for music education in our communities!
The Sound Support Foundation is a 501(c)3 national music charity with a mission as powerful as it is simple - to profoundly impact lives through mentoring, education, and training in music performance.
As one of the most respected music foundations in the United States, we focus on four areas:
1. Advocate for the transformational power of music performance training and its impacts on confidence, creativity, emotional health, social development, and success and fulfillment in life
2. Fund scholarships to both students and music educators for music performance training.
3. Provide resource materials and outreach to public schools and community education organizations
4. Present life-changing performance and touring opportunities for youth that give them access to some of the biggest names in music
The Sound Support Foundation was founded in 2023 by Caleb and Tommie Chapman to address needed support for music education. In its short history, the foundation has already impacted thousands of students through outreach clinics, workshops, scholarships, and performances!
