Handmade Music School Thanksgiving: A Giving Tuesday Musical Celebration

Support the Handmade Music School in cultivating and strengthening community through music and dance this #Giving Tuesday. Join us at The Floyd Country Store on Tuesday, November 28th, from 5:00-7:00 PM for an evening of musical celebration with all proceeds benefiting programming and operations of this 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Have a meal at The Floyd Country Store cafe and enjoy live and live-streamed performances, silent auctions of baked goods and crafts, an ice cream social, and more from Handmade Music School students, teachers, and staff. Performers include Corbin Hayslett, Jesse Smathers, Sophie Moeckel, Mac Traynham, and many more! This performance will also be live-streamed for your listening pleasure.

The Handmade Music School strives to cultivate and strengthen community through experiences in music and dance rooted in our Appalachian traditions. We envision thriving communities that connect through place-based traditions and are asking for your support this Giving Tuesday 2023 as we deepen and expand our programming with this north star in mind.

Your donations will fund operations for the Handmade Music School, provide scholarships for our weekly youth program and youth summer camps, and will help support County Sales in Floyd, VA.  Your donations will help support our team in building upon existing opportunities and creating new vibrant music and dance opportunities. It’s our mission to welcome everyone into the Handmade Music School community without finances getting in the way, and also to support the musicians and teachers that make these opportunities possible.

There are many ways to help the Handmade Music School share the music this Giving Tuesday.
