Virtual Lessons for Actual Change

"Professional musicians volunteer to teach their skills in a collective effort to raise funds for the advancement of racial justice. World class musicians offer one-on-one virtual music lessons and send 100% of the profits to organizations working to end systemic racism, such as the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and Color of Change."
