I gave to the Jodie Ruby Melodies for All fund because she was a friend and fellow board member. She is dearly missed. 

In celebration of Jodie Ruby’s enduring legacy—as a beloved Music Works Northwest parent and board member whose passion, generosity, and love for music and community touched countless lives—we are honored to launch a scholarship initiative in her memory.

Thanks to the generosity of family, friends, and community members who knew and admired Jodie, the *Melodies for All Fund* will provide **full academic year private lesson scholarships** for students at Music Works Northwest in Bellevue, WA. This ensures financial barriers never block musical growth, creativity, and joy—carrying forward Jodie’s compassion, generosity, and belief that music should be accessible to all.

🌟 **Double — and Triple — Your Impact**
Music Works Northwest will match the first $5,000 donated dollar for dollar. With employer and community partner matches, gifts can even be tripled—multiplying the reach of every contribution.

🌱 **Looking Ahead**
Our milestone goal is a **$50,000 endowment**, establishing a lasting tribute that will continue Jodie’s mission of inclusion and opportunity through music for generations.

💜 **Give today to honor Jodie Ruby’s legacy.**
Your support helps every child’s melody be heard.

For 60 years, Music Works NW has transformed lives with inclusive lessons, therapy, and outreach—music for everyone.

For 60 years, Music Works Northwest has been more than a community music school. We are Advocates for the Arts, dedicated to transforming lives through the power of music. From our talented faculty who inspire students of all ages, to our board-certified therapists leading Washington’s largest music therapy program, we ensure that music is accessible to everyone—regardless of age, ability, or financial means.

Every day, we see the impact:

• A child discovering confidence in their first recital.

• A therapy client finding new ways to communicate through song.

• Families connecting through lessons, camps, and outreach programs.

These moments are the heartbeat of Music Works Northwest. And they are only possible because of supporters like you.

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we invite you to join us in shaping the next chapter. Your gift will:

• Expand scholarships so no student is turned away.

• Grow our therapy program to reach more communities.

• Support outreach that brings music into schools and neighborhoods.

Together, we can ensure that music continues to inspire, heal, and connect for generations to come.
