They also offer summer camp programs to children who have an interest in the music industry. The ethos of the Music Box Foundation is to ignite a passion for music in students, and to learn how to work with their peers to initiate peace amongst one another. This nonprofit aids in helping students explore methods in which music impacts their lives, educates students in music theory, voice theory, and sound recording. They also work to expose students to a variety of music genres, and empower students to make well-informed decisions in pursuit of a career in the music industry.
