Children who have the chance to develop a talent and are proud of themselves will not need gangs, drugs, pregnancy and crime to feel important.

Joyful Noise was founded in 2003 with the goal of bringing music lessons to children who cannot afford them. In 2004, we provided lessons for 13 music students. In 2008, we registered 162 students.
