Project Bridge Inc.
We support, encourage and inspire school age students to play a musical instrument.
What we do
Our Focus
Changing young lives by giving them the gift and experience of music education. Teaching them skills they will apply to all areas throughout their lives.
Provide Lessons
We provide individual lessons to help meet the needs of each student at their level. This allows their weaknesses to be overcome and their strengths to be built upon. This is something that cannot be attained in a large group setting.
Provide Instruments
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument regardless of their family financial status. We help to provide instruments to families that are unable to afford one.
Provide Opportunities
We provide opportunities to perform as well as to be inspired. Our Middle School Honor Band Festival allows students to receive training under outstanding clinicians. Recently, we provided a large group of students the opportunity to be inspired at the OU Marching 110 Varsity Show.

Testimonials
Feedback from Parents
“nothing short of amazing”
This is the first year my son, Chase, has taken private lessons. he has always loved being a percussionist, but to see his confidence increase because of what Sam has been able to teach him is nothing short of amazing. he looks forward to his lesson each week and is excited to perform a piece he is working on. Because of private lessons, Chase is fostering an attitude of hard work, and is continuing to strive to do his best. As his parent, I appreciate seeing the discipline, perseverance, and self-confidence that he has gained from his lessons.

“enthusiasm & confidence”
My son, Jack, is in his 2nd year of band. He’s a percussionist, but he doesn’t see himself as a musician yet. Enrolling him in private lessons through Project Bridge has increased his enthusiasm and his confidence! Music education provides endless benefits to students: discipline, critical thinking, leadership, and maybe most importantly, creativity. I am very thankful for the gift that Project Bridge gives to many students whose families may not be able to afford the luxury.
