146 HAWAII PARENT January/February 2026 For every twenty students in Hawaii, just one receives music education. That’s 95% of students miss out on the critical cognitive, emotional, and social benefits of learning music. A partnership between Lōkahi, Hawaii Youth Symphony (HYS), and Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii (BGCH) will expand music education opportunities for Hawaii’s youth. The new program blends in-person instruction, digital learning tools, and mentorship to nurture talent and inspire lifelong engagement with music. Through this joint effort, students from three BGCH Clubhouses will participate in hands-on music lessons guided by HYS instructors and supported by Fender Play, an interactive online music education platform, provided by the music education nonprofit Lōkahi.
