Play It Forward
Mission: The mission of PLAY IT FORWARD (PIF) is to enable school children to reach their full potential through music education. This mission is carried out by New Horizons volunteers.
Music education engages children in the creative joy of making music. It also teaches the benefits of self-discipline and teamwork while enhancing the learner’s capacity and motivation for academic achievement.
