Step Up For Students is a Florida-based nonprofit organization that helps families access education scholarships and education savings accounts (ESAs).
These programs are designed to give families more flexibility and choice in their child's education. Depending on the specific scholarship, funds may be used for approved educational services such as tutoring, therapy services, and certain enrichment activities.
Many Florida families, including homeschool and private school families, use Step Up to support their child's learning beyond the traditional classroom.
Some Step Up For Students scholarships, such as certain education savings account (ESA) programs, may allow funds to be used for approved educational enrichment services. In some situations, this can include music instruction.
Music lessons may be a good fit for families such as:
Eligibility depends on the specific scholarship, the student's status, and current Step Up For Students guidelines. Every family's situation is different, and we're happy to talk with you and help point you in the right direction.

Understanding how Step Up For Students works can open new doors for your child's education. Let us help you navigate the process.
Music lessons are more than just learning an instrument; they're an investment in your child's overall development.
Regular practice builds concentration, patience, and self-discipline, skills that transfer to academic work and everyday life.
Learning to play an instrument gives children a tangible sense of accomplishment and boosts self-esteem through measurable progress.
Music opens doors to self-expression and creativity, helping children develop their own unique voice and artistic perspective.
Music provides a healthy outlet for emotions and can be a source of stress relief and joy throughout a child's life.
Our music lessons are structured to be age-appropriate and progress at a comfortable pace. Whether your child is a complete beginner or continuing their musical journey, we meet them where they are and help them grow.
A simple overview of how families can use Step Up funds for music lessons.
Parents apply through Step Up For Students and receive notification of their scholarship approval. Each scholarship has different requirements and benefits.
Parents verify directly with Step Up For Students which expenses are allowed under their specific scholarship program. This is an important step to ensure compliance.
