Serving children & youth in priority neighbourhoods of Toronto with free music lessons and instruments. We Help Kids Change Their Tune.
World-renowned Canadian violinist Moshe Hammer founded The Hammer Band in 2007. His vision: to prevent bullying in all its forms – from school bullying to gangs with guns. How? Offer children music education that promotes self-esteem, empathy, tolerance and integration. Children who learn to play an instrument and perform together learn important life skills such as self-discipline, teamwork and resilience. Studies show that music education has many benefits: improved academic performance, lower drop-out rates and stronger communities.
By summer of 2018, over 5,000 students participated in The Hammer Band. The program is now available in 40 schools with 1000 kids and growing! Teachers, principals and parents see the benefits everyday. Our kids are happier; more engaged with school and with each other and are proud of their accomplishments.
