Welcome to FMSA

Farmington Music Students Association

A student-led nonprofit that believes in the healing power of music. We bring people together through shared sound and emotion, using music as a bridge between generations, cultures, and hearts.

Our Mission

Our organization is built on two branches. Community Outreach brings live performances and music therapy to local spaces such as senior centers, libraries, and schools. Scholars in Sound extends our reach globally, curating performances, AI-generated compositions, and playlists for hospitals and care centers around the world.

Every note we play carries the same purpose: to bring comfort, joy, and connection through the language of music.

Community Outreach

Our Community Outreach branch brings the restorative power of music directly to those who need it most. Through live performances and music therapy programs, we visit senior living communities, retirement homes, and centers for individuals with disabilities.
