A star-studded documentary and concert event aims to revitalize music education in America by inspiring students, collecting instruments, and showcasing music's profound benefits.
“Don’t Stop the Music” is a multi-platform non-profit initiative dedicated to revitalizing music education in America. Through a public television documentary hosted by Harry Connick Jr., a large-scale concert event featuring renowned artists and students, and a national instrument drive to distribute 50,000 refurbished instruments to schools, the organization aims to highlight the importance of music education and create a movement to ensure all students have access to its benefits, such as improved academic performance, decreased bullying, and increased self-esteem. With the support of music legends like Paul McCartney and Aretha Franklin, as well as contemporary stars, the initiative seeks to inspire and empower students through the power of music.
