ABOUT PROJECT MUSZED
Project MuszEd (PM) is a nonprofit community-based organization serving the financially challenged youth with limited or no access to music instruction and resources. PM provides comprehensive music education in the disciplines of instructional applications, music appreciation, music theory, harmony, and performance ensembles. The organization has raised funds and provided instructors, instruments, and materials for students and for collaborative programs. Free and low cost music instruction and resources are offered to approximately 200 students annually.

Daisy Rock Girl Guitars is led by its Founder and President, Tish Ciravolo. Ciravolo is a highly acclaimed expert on female empowerment and females in music. Tish’s expertise has been immortalized by her induction into the Museum of Making Music, the world’s premier museum showcasing the history of the music products industry, and she is widely regarded as a visionary in the industry. Ciravolo’s deep insight into the subject of girl guitars and female empowerment has made her a sought after and frequent contributor on national and international television, newspapers, magazines, websites, and radio programs including People, Time, Newsweek, CNN, ABC, NBC, FOX, VH1, the Premier Radio Network, BBC Radio, and the Associated Press. Daisy Rock Girl Guitars is in over 25 countries worldwide, and is co-owned and distributed by Alfred Music Publishing.

Since its launch in 2004, Project MuszEd has served as a vehicle for many life changing opportunities for inner city youth that include scholarships to Berklee College of Music, opening for The Black Eyed Peas and Ozomatli, a recording session with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and a special performance with The Isley Brothers.
