Our mission is to make sure that all children in southwest florida have access to music education.

Our goal is to change the lives of these children one musical instrument and one music lesson at a time.

The Tabarrini Foundation has been an important part of  my child’s journey, giving him the opportunity to learn, explore music, and continue building both his skills and his confidence. Watching him grow from a shy kid into someone who found his voice through music has been incredible to see!

We rely solely on grass roots donations and fundraisers to be able to continue to give Southwest Florida children access to musical instruction.

The Lewis P. Tabarrini Children’s Music Outreach is a Florida, 501(c)3, non-profit organization that was formed with 2 goals in mind:

To help distribute musical instruments to children in Southwest Florida who are not able to acquire them on their own.

To provide music lessons to children who  want to learn to play music but do not have the means to do it on their own.

WHY IT MATTERS

Music education enhances academic success, emotional well-being and social connection. For many of our students it’s a life changing opportunity.

The Tabarrini Foundation was founded in 2010 on the knowledge that music ignites children’s creativity, fosters a sense of accomplishment and empowers them to achieve and succeed in all aspects of their lives. We believe that music participation is an essential element in the fabric of an enduring society, and aim to keep music education alive in Southwest Florida.
