“The relationships and community teach us how to be a part of the world again.”

– Musicambia Participant, Sing Sing Correctional Facility

OUR MISSION

Musicambia (“music”+”change”) helps people in prison read, write, play, and perform music, cultivating collaborative communities that benefit the health and well-being of everyone involved.

OUR BELIEFS

We use music to build supportive communities where incarcerated people can make meaningful connections, engage in learning, and rebuild their lives.

Making music together develops greater self-confidence, self-esteem, and communication skills.

We believe a more humane criminal legal system in the United States is necessary and possible. We aim to dispel common misconceptions about incarcerated people.
