"Dum Tak Music Inc." began in my living room
When orchestral music begins, there is often a moment — just seconds in — when we, including my children, become fully present; attention sharpens. It is a moment where music starts to happen within us and amongst us; music is powerful. It is communication, learning, and emotional regulation. Music is connection.
Dum Tak Music Inc. is an organization dedicated to expanding access to orchestral and cultural music for our community, kids, and families.

The Dum Tak Model
The Dum Tak Model
Dum Tak is designed as a scalable, community-embedded framework rather than a series of isolated performances. We partner with childcare providers, schools, libraries, cultural institutions, and healthcare environments across Massachusetts to bring hands-on rhythm and live music experiences directly into everyday spaces where families and children gather.
A note from the founder
A note from the founder
I'm an architect and healthcare facilities planner — I've spent more than 15 years designing and managing large-scale construction projects. My work has always been about how physical systems shape human experience.
Dum Tak started because I noticed the same kind of gap in early childhood; the infrastructure for consistent, high-quality experience just isn't there. Watching my own kids learn rhythm before language, I saw how much was riding on something as simple as access to live music — and how little of it reaches most families.
Dum Tak isn't a performance series. Dum Tak is designed to make rhythm and live music a reliable part of early childhood environments, not an occasional treat.
