"This is one of my favorite initiatives for 2021. COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on communities and especially on disadvantaged and underserved communities of color. iPlay® provides many low-income virtual learners an outlet to learn and be introduced to an instrument – something they might not ever have the opportunity given their socio-economic status. This program gives all K-12 students across the United States the opportunity to fall in love with music over and over again.", said Penelope Lopez, Chairman.
