Kenny Ji
Founder Bio
The organization was founded in 2021 by Kenny Ji, based in Melbourne, Florida.
From a young age, Kenny recognized the power and impact of music, both as a performer and now as a high school student pursuing college studies in music history and musicology and exploring their intersections with public policy and local community organization. His background includes studying as a jazz musician playing piano and saxophone and playing in his high school jazz band, raising money for Autistic children through a solo performance at New York City's world-famous Carnegie Hall, and serving on the student board of MusicMDs.
​
MUSICAAA is run by a growing community of middle-school to college-aged students who share their time, talent and passion for music education with children living with autism and ADHD.
​
Research studies, such as one conducted by Knapik-Szweda, shows that music has the powerful ability to improve attention, communication, social skills, and manners in children with Autism.
​
Current initiatives include an ongoing collection drive of used instruments, which are donated on a regular basis to under-resourced children. Keep an eye on our signature programs page for upcoming programming and events.
