Mission and programs · 2024

• POP MUSIC CENTERS: THROUGH OUR POP MUSIC CENTERS, WE POSITIVELY IMPACT STUDENTS' ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND PRO-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR BY DEVELOPING THE EMOTIONAL, COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL SKILLS NECESSARY FOR A SUCCESSFUL LIFE. MUSIC CENTER STUDENTS ENGAGE IN INTENSIVE MUSIC INSTRUCTION BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL FOR A TOTAL OF 8 HOURS A WEEK THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR AND FOUR WEEKS OF FULL-DAY INSTRUCTION DURING THE SUMMER, TOTALING UP TO 400 HOURS OF MUSICAL TRAINING. STUDENTS ARE LOANED ONE OF FOURTEEN STANDARD ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENTS AT NO COST AND, COLLECTIVELY, PARTICIPATE IN OVER 25 PERFORMANCES A YEAR.

  Expenses $817,249

• POP CHILDREN'S ORCHESTRA - ALL ENROLLED INSTRUMENTAL STUDENTS FROM ALL MUSIC CENTER SITES PARTICIPATE IN A MULTI-LEVEL ENSEMBLE CALLED THE PLAY ON PHILLY CHILDREN'S ORCHESTRA. WHILE ALL STUDENTS WILL REHEARSE THE SAME MUSICAL PIECES, EVERY PART WILL BE LEVELED TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL CHALLENGES TO STUDENTS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF THEIR MUSICAL AND TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT. THE CHILDREN'S ORCHESTRA IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SEASONED POP MUSICIANS TO SERVE AS SECTION LEADERS AND FOR YOUNGER STUDENTS TO PUSH THEIR MUSICAL LIMITS IN A SUPPORTIVE, COMMUNAL ENVIRONMENT.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
