Be InstrumentalTMworkshops are group mentoring practicums for students enrolled in school band, voice, and related school music programs as well as for aspiring music students outside of band (keyboards, guitar, songwriting, digital engineering/recording, etc.) taught by industry professionals, professional musicians, and music teachers. Accomplished musicians have a unique opportunity to inspire. Infinite Music enlists the support of professional musicians to present workshops and assemblies on technique and the role music has played in their lives. The result: enlightening performances, inspiring talks, and the chance to make a positive impact on young people's lives. This is an exciting new program that we just launched near the end of 2025 with clinics scheduled for the 2026/27 academic school year. As a result of the late start in the year there are no expenses, revenue, or grants attributed to this program.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
