The Steinway Society of Riverside County has worked rigorously since our 2002 inception to fill the artistic gap left as funding for music education continued to disappear. We provide free, interactive music education classes, live performance programs, and competitions for 30,000 local school-age children throughout the entire county. And we want to do more because here’s what we’ve learned: • Junior and High school music students show higher grade- point averages than non musicians. • On college entrance exams, students with music studies scored 63 points higher on verbal and 44 points higher on math testing than those with no arts participation. • Music integrated into 7th and 8th grade resulted in better academic performance and social behaviors. We are encouraged by these wonderful kids who are so eager to learn. Every year we interact with over 30,000 children as we enhance their lives through music education. We hope you will join us in this endeavor of love and hope for our future. Thank you for your presence and support today. Ruth Moir CEO and Founder Annual Piano Festival Competition The Steinway Society’s Annual Festival Competition has been awarding talented young piano students and providing them an opportunity to perform and work with master teachers since 2005.
