Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation (KTBA) is dedicated to offsetting the loss of music education programming due to budget cuts across America. We strive to pass the torch on to the next generation by empowering them to manifest their talents within the arts community and using music as an outlet to exercise creativity in the entertainment workforce. As of Dec 2022, KTBA has supported over 585 schools and reached 89,000 students by providing new instruments, sheet music, supplies, and professional development tools for music teachers. KTBA supports music educators who give their students a positive and rewarding experience in the arts. As KTBA promotes the advancement of STEM to STEAM curricula in schools, KTBA acknowledges the inherent resistance from dated education administrations and diminishing arts and music programming budgets. Each quarter, KTBA assess its goals and measures allowing the staging the opportunity to improve and adjust its procedures accordingly. KTBA makes a week

IRS990/MissionDesc0Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation (KTBA) is dedicated to offsetting the loss of music education programming due to budget cuts across America. We strive to pass the torch on to the next generation by empowering them to manifest their talents within the arts community and using music as an outlet to exercise creativity in the entertainment workforce. As of Dec 2022, KTBA has supported over 585 schools and reached 89,000 students by providing new instruments, sheet music, supplies, and professional development tools for music teachers. KTBA supports music educators who give their students a positive and rewarding experience in the arts.
