For A Good Koss was founded in 2017, with our initial events held in 2018. Over the past five plus years, we have focused on two areas to in fulfilling our mission.
Foundation Education Events
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
― Aristotle
Each child views the world through their own unique eyes and each of them sees something different. Because of this, children who best learn in a way outside of established methods may not reach their full potential.
For A Good Koss seeks to reach all children through the power of learning, especially those who may be overlooked in the traditional classroom environment. Our current approach consists of regular events held in public spaces that teach with kind, creative, and joyful education programs.
If you have a suggestion for an event or you would like to lead one yourself, please reach out to us through the Get Involved page.
Music Scholarships
“I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning”
― Plato
Music carries our emotions, our culture, and our creativity. Research has also shown that music increases students’ memory, speech, and mathematics skills. There is no shortage of children who cannot afford to have music in their lives.
As such, music education is fundamental to our mission of inspiring children to be curious. We seek to give the gift of music, one child, one instrument, one program at a time. For A Good Koss currently directs donations towards existing K-12 music programs and will in the near future create a scholarship program within the foundation itself. We have donated $10,500 to music scholarships to date.
