Bay Harmony Youth Foundation

Our Story

Before becoming an organized nonprofit, Peggie Gao's Music Studio was established in 2015 in the San Francisco Bay Area with a passion for music education and community connection.

Over the years, the studio has grown to include five choir groups and nearly 100 piano and vocal students, ranging from children as young as three to adults in their forties. Through teaching and performing a wide variety of musical styles and genres, the studio strives to help each student discover their passion, develop their talents, and find joy in music.

Beyond music education, the studio has sought to bring people together through the universal language of music. By performing for seniors and sharing music with the broader community, we hope to spread joy, foster meaningful connections, and make music accessible to people of all ages.

Today, Bay Harmony Youth Foundation builds upon this foundation, carrying forward the belief that music can unite generations, strengthen communities, and bring people closer together.
