The Hammer Band:
World-renowned Canadian violinist
Moshe Hammer founded The Hammer Band in 2007.
His vision: to prevent violence
in all its forms – from school bullying to gangs with guns. How?
Offer children music education that promotes self-esteem, empathy and
tolerance. Children who learn to play an
instrument and perform together learn important life skills such as
self-discipline, teamwork and resilience.
Studies show that music education has many benefits: improved academic performance, lower drop-out
rates and stronger communities.
More than 1,500 students have already
participated in The Hammer Band. Today,
the program is available in 26 Toronto public schools, and growing! Teachers, principals and parents see the
benefits every day. Our Hammer Band kids
are happier, more engaged with school and with each other, and are proud of
their accomplishments. It is little
wonder that families and communities come together to support their children’s
music-making, and that we have a school waiting-list.
