SAGWA is a volunteer organization devoted to improving children’s lives through music education. Our mission is to inspire an appreciation for the untapped possibilities of children through promoting the understanding and use of the music teaching approach and educational philosophy of Dr. Shinichi Suzuki for the greater happiness of all children. SAGWA has positions open for volunteers to run programs for Development, Membership and Marketing, Website, all the events that are provided for students, and more. Please contact SAGWA if you would like to donate or volunteer in any way.
