Noteworthy Music Club and Festival

Project Theme: Elementary Music Education 

Years in Existence: 15 

Target Audience and Location: Patrick Henry High School Community and Roanoke County Public School students in Roanoke, Virginia. 

Mission: To connect students and teachers who are passionate about music and music education to raise money to sponsor music education and buy new instruments for elementary school students in our community. 

Project Description: Founded in 2011 by Scholars Locher Grove and educator Nicole Doherty, The Noteworthy Music Festival celebrates the community’s passion for music while enhancing access to instruments and music education for local elementary school students. Each year, Noteworthy works to fundraise to support one of Roanoke’s 17 elementary schools’ music programs. This year, the team is focusing its efforts on supporting Garden City Elementary School. Their goal is to raise $3,500 through monthly fundraisers, an expanded festival, and increased social media outreach and student recruitment.
