Welcome to Mission 4 Music

WHO WE ARE…
Mission 4 Music is a San Diego-based non-profit group with a singular focus on bringing the universal value of music to all generations. Mission 4 Music was founded in May of 2007 by life-long San Diegans, all of whom are active participants in San Diego's vibrant, multicultural music scene.

Though based in "America's Finest City," Mission 4 Music has it's sights set on the entire country. We are forming partnerships from San Diego to New York, Florida, Washington and everywhere in between.

WHAT WE DO…
Mission 4 Music hosts events (such as The Wee Rock Music Festival) that both raise awareness and funds to invigorate music education in our public schools. Although data has proven learning about music helps children socially and intellectually, music programs in public schools are limited or non-existent.

With performances from local and regional bands, help from local and international businesses as well as a wide range of non-profit organizations, Mission 4 Music is able to create family-friendly events with entertainment for all ages featuring music (of course!), merchandise, craft and food booths, and much more.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO…
We believe music is central to living in harmony. When exposed to a broad range of music, our intellect can approach fresh thinking and new ways of living.

We believe existing successfully in a busy society starts with open minds, which is why we hope to help all people—but especially younger generations—become more eager to learn about and accept the different people and cultures they encounter.

We believe the first, easiest step is through music. Diverse music is everywhere in our communities, and it should be shared throughout our culture. A greater level of harmony will benefit us as a whole.

 

"Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears-
it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear.

But for many of my patients, music is even more- it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity."
