Dear Supporters,

The last several months have been challenging for many community-based art schools. We are no exception. The obstacles brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with shifts in demographics, have placed numerous stresses on our organization. Nevertheless, we are just as committed now to serving the lake region as we were when we first opened our doors in 2006. For nearly two decades, we have been offering high quality, personalized music education to thousands of children and adults alike. BBCM remains the region’s only full time, non-profit community conservatory. In keeping with our mission of offering “excellence in music education,” we have begun work to renew our commitment to serving our region. In just the past two months alone, we have doubled the size of our faculty and expanded opportunities in voice, guitar, piano, and more.

But we cannot do this valuable work alone. As always, we rely on the community’s financial support to guarantee that BBCM will be here for the next twenty years and beyond. Therefore, we cordially invite you to join BBCM’s Legacy Campaign. 100% of proceeds will go directly to community programming. And all donations will have a direct impact on safeguarding a legacy of personalized, one-on-one instruction for our neighbors. Please considering joining us on this journey.

With all best wishes,
