Our History
In loving memory of Van Lawton, we started collecting used instruments and gifting them to kids who wanted to play, keeping Van's "music and magic" alive. We have now served over 200 families with the gift of music.
Our Mission
Our History
Our Mission
With the help of "magic makers" like you, we collect gently used instruments, fix them up and gift them to families all across Maine and New England. We work with partners: Maine Public, and KindKids Music as well as several other music educators, social workers, and small organizations to continue this work.

enriching lives with the magic of music since 2009
Serving Families in Maine with help from YOU!
Guitars, Keyboards, Violins, Drumsets, Clarinets, Flutes, Trumpets, Trombones, Saxophones, Ukuleles, Cellos, and so so many more instruments have been gifted with your help.
Imagine a young person with a passion for music and a family that just cannot afford the expense of renting or buying an instrument. That is the family we serve. We know from our work with teachers, parents, and social workers what a HUGE impact having a music instrument can have on a young person.
