Instrument Donation & Adoption

Near the beginning of each school year, Music at Kohl hosts
an instrument adoption and networking event for San Mateo County
music teachers. Teachers are able to select instruments for their schools,
which then become part of that school’s instrument inventory.
Giving instruments to schools in need allows students who might not
otherwise be able to experience the joys and challenges of learning music.

Need an instrument for a student?

During the 2024-25 season, more than 220 instruments were offered for adoption by more than 20 schools. If you are a teacher with students who need instruments, please reach out to us at education@musicatkohl.org. We will check our inventory and do our best to fill your needs.

Have an instrument to donate?

Call the Music at Kohl office at 650.762.1130 for more information or to make an appointment to drop off your donation. To expedite the process, fill out our Google Form to share your instrument information before drop-off.
Please note: we do not accept piano donations. Other large instrument donations (i.e. drum sets, keyboards, etc.) are accepted only if spaces is available to store them.
