Fellowship Programs

Powered by the WePlay Foundation

The WePlay Foundation’s Fellowship Programs are designed to provide meaningful musical opportunities for dedicated students who show promise, commitment, and a passion for music. These programs go beyond traditional instruction, they empower students through focused mentorship, collaborative performance, and personalized growth.

​

With the support of the Foundation, we ensure that access to these programs is based on potential and dedication, not financial ability. Whether advancing through private instruction, building ensemble skills, or receiving long-term guidance, students in these programs gain the tools, support, and inspiration to thrive, both musically and personally.

Teachers work closely with each student to refine technique, deepen musical expression, and build strong foundational skills that will support long-term success.

WePlay Together

The Collaborative Music Program is a unique opportunity for students to grow through ensemble experience. Known as WePlay Together, this program is designed for those who are ready to play music in a group setting and develop their skills in rhythm, listening, timing, and teamwork.
