MusiciansTennessee, United States11-50 Employees

The Joy of Music School operates in the music education field, delivering free programs for financially disadvantaged and at‑risk youth in Knoxville, Tennessee. It offers no-cost lessons and classes, with more than 200 children and teens enrolled in weekly sessions and outreach that reaches up to 1,000 additional youth through after-school sites like Boys & Girls Clubs. The program relies on a large community of volunteer teachers who contribute their time and talent to students' learning.

The organization seeks to broaden the lives of financially disadvantaged young people by helping them develop habits that can carry into their future work and by exposing them to opportunities beyond music. It provides instruments and related accessories, and offers a mix of private and group lessons, ensemble participation, and music enrichment experiences and classes to support artistic development. In late 2023, the organization announced the appointment of Muci Eckhoff as Executive Director, who was to join in December, signaling leadership transition.
