General/Infrastructure Support

Rimon School prides itself on providing the best possible professional environment to learn and create music. We seek ongoing capital support for infrastructure and facilities development. Your support helps us to improve and maintain our academic spaces and provide updated musical instruments, computer workstations, etc.

Educational Programs

Rimon prides itself in attracting the best possible musical talent in its student body. We strive to increase scholarship offerings, which enable students to fully realize the dream of studying music, and to facilitate the financing of their studies. Rimon School of Music awards scholarships based on academic merit, community service, and economic need; providing an educational foundation that positions our students and alumni for professional success acting as stewards of community betterment.

Music Education for All

Over the years, Israel’s school system dramatically reduced access to quality music education. This program fills a gap. The goal is to help create a leveled curriculum from kindergarten through elementary school, junior high, and high school to foster and strengthen required musical skills of students in the education system. This program enhances music education in the school system while imparting the belief that music also changes the person positively, creates integration and dialogue, and helps students maximize their potential; particularly when music is introduced at a young age. High schools in many municipalities, particularly those with music major programs, often wish to spend an interactive in-service day at Rimon School on our campus. Students come in groups of 20-50 students from various grade levels. Students are offered a six-hour day of a campus tour, class participation, customized workshops, presentations in our technology center, and are treated to a performance by one of our student ensembles. For some schools, this program is cost-prohibitive. Underwriting support of this program would allow us to offer a lower price to schools, which would encourage more schools to participate, and give us more interactive access to talented students; a mutual benefit. Another central objective is to empower youth at risk. Endorsed by Israel’s Ministry of Education, Rimon School promotes professional and vocational training for music teachers and their students to help those students achieve academic success. Rimon designs customized music programs dedicated to serving high-school aged students in several cities and towns who are at risk in their personal and academic lives. Meeting them where they are and giving them both inspiration and structure through music education, this program gives students a meaningful experience that engages their passion for music as a vehicle for gaining valuable life skills. Students in these programs meet weekly. They learn commitment, collaboration, and teamwork as well as the discipline of study, rehearsal, and preparation required to succeed in musical pursuits. We provide as many opportunities as possible to help students gain personal, professional, and musical development. One special project that recently concluded was a master series on Rimon’s campus that served Jewish youth at risk from three cities and focused around religious melodies and songs from the traditions of the Sephardic-Mizrachi diaspora (music originating from the Jews of Spain and Portugal, the Middle East, and North Africa). This program was developed to teach students these pieces and helped them to create their own music inspired by them. The program was a pilot and we are in the evaluation phase about how we will present the program again in the coming year. Another project provided music education to Arab-Israeli youth from the village of Yarqa. The program for this school year just wrapped with a very successful and inspiring concert performed by the students and we look forward to welcoming our next group in the coming academic year.

Jazz Institute for Youth

This program focuses on identifying the best student musicians throughout Israel’s high school system and developing their skills. Our unique afternoon program creates unique, original musical compositions and helps to prepare them as future students at Rimon. This program currently teaches students in Jazz from ages 15-18 and aspires to expand and offer a Rock/Pop module. The ongoing partnership with area high schools involves a multi-stranded recruitment approach that includes on-site workshops and master classes, direct recruitment, ensemble opportunities, and more. We aim to increase the number and amount of scholarships we offer, to support these brilliant students as they continue their musical studies at Rimon.

Adopt a Program

Rimon offers experiential learning through orchestras, ensembles, and production-based programming. We represent Israel abroad and showcase Israeli culture in the international arena. The following programs seek ongoing support:
