Save The Music-CNMI Foundation keeps music alive in our islands. Through Voices of The Marianas, the first iconic and premier musical platform for performers to demonstrate their musical talent in the CNMI, we teach, mentor and put young musicians on stage.

Our classes pair the ukulele with the songs of our elders, so every chord a student learns also carries a word of Chamorro or Carolinian forward.
