The core strategy of this program is to support dedicated students, nominated by greenwich public school music teachers, in grades4-12, who could not otherwise affordthis opportunity, to receiveprivate instrumental lessons with theconnecticutschool of music teachers for 25 weeks afterschool and a year-end recital. This program opens access for the students to participate in the district's music ensembles because they have better skills and increased confidence developed from working one-on-one in a private lesson.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $847k to $1.3M (+58%).
