Our Story
I used to play piano but eventually quit. When I returned to it, I did so on my own terms—rediscovering the joy of learning and ultimately teaching others. This "encore" became more than just my personal story; it turned into a philosophy of "paying it forward," one that I carry into everything I do. For the seniors we serve, this encore takes on new meaning as they embrace piano, proving it’s never too late to start anew and find fulfillment in learning.
Support Us
At Encore Initiative, our mission is to bring the joy of music to seniors through meaningful piano instruction and connection. As our program grows, so do the needs that help us keep things running smoothly. We’re currently raising funds to support key areas that keep Encore strong and sustainable:
Covering annual nonprofit renewal and state filing fees so we can continue operating as a 501(c)(3)
Maintaining our website as a hub for resources, class information, and outreach
Providing piano stands and supplies to ensure every participant has what they need to succeed
Every dollar raised goes directly toward creating a more enriching and accessible experience for our senior learners. With your support, we can continue fostering creativity, confidence, and community one note at a time.
