The ASA envisions a world where music is a common language of unity, empowerment, and opportunity.

We seek to expand the vision of students of all ages, who do not have access to music education, by teaching them to express themselves creatively. We enrich the lives of seniors by adding beauty and connection in the form of free concerts and productions. We publish a magazine dedicated to the creation and performance of live music. Most important, we pay the artists so that they may continue to do their work and make a difference in the lives of all who experience their art.

Our Mission

The ASA seeks to create transformational experiences for people of all ages by engaging in the music of the Great American Songbook.

Our Values

We believe in the power of music. By creating accessibility to music through the Great American Songbook, we can be a catalyst for positive change, developmental growth, and a better sense of self. Regardless of gender, socioeconomic status, geographical location, or any other cultural dimension, we believe that the language of music, in song and lyrics, can break down barriers and build relationships.
