We envision instilling the appreciation and joy of music in youth through classical Chinese instruments so they can be artists of their own and give back to the community through music.

Purple Silk Music Education Foundation is devoted to providing quality music education to youth in Oakland and beyond. Our mission is to instill in young people an appreciation of music from all cultures through instruction in traditional Chinese instruments. We promote opportunities for children and youth of low-income families to receive music education from professional musicians, perform in public venues, and become proficient musicians themselves.
