We’ve got some truly exciting news to share with you all, and we wanted you to be the first to hear it!

Stillwater Music and The Be Frank Foundation are officially joining forces! 

For those who may not know, the Be Frank Foundation is a wonderful local nonprofit dedicated For those who may not know, Be Frank Foundation is a wonderful local nonprofit dedicated to providing orchestra programs and string instrument rentals to students in our area. They’ve been serving students in La Plata County with in-school and after-school music programs since 2013.

With Be Frank Foundation coming under the umbrella of Stillwater Music, we are excited to expand our existing Stillwater Music offerings to include after-school orchestra, youth string ensembles, and string instrument rentals for all ages alongside our existing programs!

In addition, we are thrilled to welcome Be Frank Founder and Executive Director, Lech Usinowicz, onto the Stillwater team as our new Orchestra Department Chair! Lech is bringing years of experience as well as a team of wonderful music instructors into the Stillwater family.

This strategic consolidation creates an amazing opportunity to unify operations, increase efficiency, and expand access to music for students of all ages and backgrounds—all under one roof. Together, we can bring music to even more students and build an even stronger musical community.

We are thrilled to bring these two incredible organizations together under one mission: to make music education accessible, inspiring, and community-driven.

As we celebrate this big change, we also want to let you know that registration for fall youth classes is live and registration for in- and after-school youth orchestras and adult classes are coming soon!
