Henry for Music, Inc. promotes music education and provides learning opportunities for students to gain inspiration from professional musicians. “That’s why we’ve partnered with the Henry County Fine Arts Department to bring this exciting event to our community and why we’ve made it our mission to ensure that all students have access to instruments and can participate in the joy of music,” said CEO and Founder, Jerry Hesselink.

Henry for Music partners with local and national music stores and organizations to manage and maintain an inventory of donated musical instruments.

“We then coordinate with County Elementary, Middle Schools, High Schools, and Community Centers to place the newly-restored instruments into the hands of Student Musicians.” Henry for Music, Inc. eases financial barriers that may prevent students from participating in music programs,” said Hesselink.
