Noel Pointer Foundation

Noel Pointer Foundation (NPF) is a not-for-profit that dramatically enriches the lives of children by developing string music education programs for under-served communities in New York City. Through professional training, performance opportunities and college placement assistance, NPF enhances a student’s cultural and academic experience, infusing them with a positive sense of who they are and a boundless sense of what they can become.

The Musik Program is a weekly arts enrichment program that transforms young lives through instruction in music theory, instrument technique, private, and ensemble classes. Students at every experience level learn how to play their choice of violin, viola, cello, double bass, guitar, or voice.

Our After School Program provides students with private 30, 45, and 60-minute lessons. Music Therapy: In this group class, music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. Through musical involvement in this context, children's abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives.
