OUR MENTORS
ArtSmart collaborates with highly trained, professional musicians throughout the United States. Using an evidenced based curriculum, our mentors work with their students to set goals, learn music, develop a health self-esteem and ultimately, chart a course for the rest of their lives.


The role of a mentor
Healthy mentoring relationships are built on a foundation of consistency and trust. Our mentors engage with students through one-on-one lessons over the course of a full school year. Skills that promote preparation for the future–music theory and performance technique are critical to every weekly lesson. Our mentors provide the stability and support that every young person needs to thrive.
“This has been the most meaningful work I’ve ever done. Seeing my students succeed and knowing that I had something to do with that–there’s nothing like it.”
