Toucan is a non-profit organization working hard to provide free music lessons for less privileged children — so that cost is never the reason a child can't make music.
Toucan was started by a group of friends who saw the cost of music education keep talented kids on the sidelines. We give underserved youth free lessons — and the joy, discipline, and community that come with learning an instrument.
Every Toucan student is paired with a dedicated tutor for free, one-on-one lessons on the instrument they want to learn.
No fees, ever. We exist so that money is never a barrier to a child learning music.
Personalized attention from a tutor who meets each student where they are and grows with them.
Our tutors teach a range of instruments, so students can learn the one they're most excited about.
Toucan is run by a small team of friends who love music and believe it should be available to everyone.
