Support Tacoma Music Collaborative
We Need Your Help
Tacoma Music Collaborative relies on donations to make performing with an orchestra accessible to motivated students. We also require the support of numerous volunteers to continue to provide a place for students of all levels and ages to perform on a non-competitive basis. Our volunteers help host events that combine experienced student orchestra musicians, beautiful performance venues, and professional rehearsals.
We have ways to contribute to TMC whether you are a student, a teacher, an orchestral musician, or simply a member of our community.
If you are interested in donating to the organization, we welcome your gift of any size. Organizations, businesses, or individual donors are encouraged to read through the sponsorship options available to you, and consider making your gift a sponsorship. Information about how to donate and opportunities to sponsor TMC programs is accessible through the buttons below.
In order to make programs like these possible, TMC needs volunteers willing to donate a few hours’ time to help support music students, especially during rehearsals and concerts. Duties range from helping set up and take down event materials, visiting local businesses to distribute materials, and everything in-between.
Students
Tacoma Music Collaborative welcomes students of all ages and experience levels. We work with music instructors in the South Sound and beyond to bring performance opportunities to all.
Our events are open to students who are currently working with a music instructor. If you don’t have an instructor but wish to perform, please contact us. If you have a dream of playing as a trio or with an orchestra, or are simply looking for opportunities for musical growth, you are in the right place.
Families & Community
Love music? Want to help? There’s a place for you, here at Tacoma Music Collaborative. Many hands make light work. Do you have a special skill you want to share with our community, or just a love of music and a bit of time to help bring our student’s dreams to life? We have many roles available that will make a significant different to our student’s experiences with TMC, especially during our concert season.

Teachers
Your students of any age and level are welcome to participate in our events. Please work with your students to prepare appropriate repertoire for the Chamber Music Festival and the Concerto Festival to ensure your students are able to register.
As a teacher, you know the value of stretching your students and encouraging them to try new things. TMC provides your students with the opportunity to perform on stage with professional musicians, through our annual Chamber Music Festival and Concerto Festival.
Orchestral Musicians
We work with local musicians and orchestras to support our students. Many members of our orchestra are collegiate music students, but we also work with those who are musicians by trade. We are always looking for Tacoma-area musicians to perform with our ensembles and incredible students.
TMC musicians perform repertoire of a broad range, from beginner’s pedagogy pieces to advanced concertos by well-known composers. We have need for musicians of all orchestral instruments, especially string instruments.
Musicians are compensated for your time and skill performing with TMC.
To indicate interest in performing with TMC students, please fill out the form below. We will be in touch with any openings we have in our orchestras.
