About

Welcome to the Noel Pointer Foundation, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through the power of music. Since our founding in 1995, we’ve been at the forefront of providing high-quality string music education to youth aged 3-18 from historically underserved communities across New York City.

Our Mission:

Our mission is clear: we believe that music has the power to change lives, and we are committed to offering artistically rigorous string instruction and performance opportunities to young people.  Empowering them with the skills and confidence to achieve their fullest potential.

At NPF, we enrich the lives of our students through a comprehensive approach that includes professional training, performance experiences, and college placement assistance. Our programs are designed to enhance both the cultural and academic aspects of each student’s journey, fostering a positive self-image and a limitless vision for their future.

With a track record spanning three decades, our foundation continues to make a profound impact in the communities we serve,  by providing access to exceptional music education.  We aim to instill a lifelong love of learning and a deep appreciation for the arts in every child we reach.

Join us in our mission to inspire and uplift the next generation through the transformative power of music.
