Hopewell’s mission is to improve access to music education in North Minneapolis through affordable, inclusive, and engaging music programs.
We envision a thriving music community in North Minneapolis, where everyone has equal opportunity to nurture and share their talents regardless of race, income, ability, or musical background.
We are dedicated to building a future free of racism and prejudice by actively identifying intolerance and working continuously to positively change systems, policies, and practices within our organization and beyond.
We are devoted to amplifying the artistic excellence and joyful creativity of our community by supporting each participant’s curiosity and exploration of music.
We are committed to centering equity, inclusivity, and accessibility in our programs to ensure that everyone feels welcome and has the resources and support they need to thrive.
We believe that music is an impactful way to strengthen and empower our community, to foster a sense of unity, empathy, and understanding.
We acknowledge our responsibility to be transparent and to listen and be receptive to our community’s feedback and needs.
Hopewell began in 2012 when two Northside music teachers shared a frustration over the diminishing access to music education. In turn, these teachers opened up the only comprehensive music school in North Minneapolis. The Ensemble Program was subsequently developed in 2013 to accommodate our students’ desire for ensemble playing as there were no community ensembles in North Minneapolis. At the end of 2012, 50 students were enrolled in music lessons, and in the first year of the ensemble program 6 members participated. By 2019, Hopewell Music engaged over 700 students and community members through 160 weekly private lessons, six multi-generational ensembles, in-school music programming, and more than 20 public performances. In 2022, Hopewell is continuing to provide equitable music education in the era of COVID by offering lessons, classes, and ensembles both online and in-person. For more information about our online and in-person lessons and ensembles policies, click here.
What Hopewell does is about more than just music, it is about equal opportunities and access to music education. Music education is scientifically proven to increase academic performance in children and enhance productivity and mental acuity in adults. Music has the added benefits of instilling values such as discipline, resilience, cooperation, and good communication while providing both youth and adult students with a creative outlet. Playing in a group provides further benefits of helping students find camaraderie among like-minded peers.
2020 was a year like no other in recent memory and it became clear that Hopewell Music needed to change and adapt to the times. With the help of Propel Nonprofits we came up with a 3 year Strategic Plan to hold ourselves accountable to fulfilling our mission to the fullest extent while growing equitably and sustainably. Take a look and let us know your thoughts!
