Summary

From July through October 2024, Tunes Music Makers reported that fundraising, a grant, and donors had supported nearly $20,000 in lessons during the preceding spring, with weekly lessons costing $35–$50 per student. In September it advertised weekly lessons with two instructors, said scholarship places for the next 12-week session were filled while private-pay places remained, and sought sponsors. In October it announced a $25,000 year-end fundraising goal and a free small-group guitar clinic for youth and adults.
