This March and April, 2025, we invite music students across Long Island to participate in our Practice-a-Thon. All proceeds go to the Long Island Cares Harry Chapin Foodbank and its hunger relief efforts on Long Island. Now, more than ever, our food banks need our help. Our mission is to strengthen practice habits while empowering musicians to make a difference in their community.
Musicians and teachers involved in the Harry Chapin Practice-a-thon do not have to collect any money. All money raised by this program is sent directly to Long Island Cares.

This year the forms are not fillable online.
