In loving memory of Van Lawton, we started collecting used instruments and gifting them to kids who wanted to play. Keeping Van's "music and magic" alive, we continue to share the gift of music. Changing lives one note at a time we say: "music in our hands,
magic in our hearts"

Music and Magic’s annual great instrument giveaways are sponsored by the Tom Rowe Music Makers Scholarship Fund. Tom was a founding member of pivotal Maine folk group Schooner Fare, as well as Turkey Hollow in which he performed with his son, Dave. His life-long love of performing music began with a clarinet recital on a Maine grange-hall stage as a child. Tom was so energized by the audience reaction to his fledgling performance that he not only dedicated his life to being a musician, he always did what he could to share that love with younger generations as a teacher and mentor to countless up-and-coming musicians. It's only fitting to continue that enduring legacy in his name through the good works of Music and Magic.
