What they do
During Our Calendar Year of 2023, The Institute for Creative Music Presented Outreach and Community Concerts, Trained Our Teachers, and Presented Group Music Classes and Individual Lessons. Our Teachers Participated In Zoom-based Training With Master Teachers and Met Regularly for Professional Development Sessions. Continuing to Promote Our Denton Jazz Workshops and Creative Music Kids Classes and New Private Lessons Through Direct-to-school Advertising Has Increased Our Connection to The Community and Increased Our Population of Students Across All Programs. This Fall We Presented Two Community Workshops, "Experiencing Jazz," With Dr. Kim Teal and The IfCM Collective and "Experiencing Creative Music" With Composer Matthew Golombisky At The Denton Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Matthew Also Worked With and Performed Alongside The Denton Jazz Workshops At The Denton Arts & Jazz Festival In October. We Presented One Community Workshop This Spring, "Denton Jazz Workshops Family Jam,"

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
The uncolored part of the ring is revenue above these reported expenses.
