Driven to share her music with others, Amy Hwang (West Friendship, MD) founded Do Re Mi Project, an international non-profit organization that strives to make music education more accessible to communities by connecting high school students with pupils in elementary and middle schools. Since its founding, Do Re Mi has amassed over 1,000 members; providing 10,000 online music lessons and $4,000 in music scholarships to kids from 37 states and ten countries. Hwang has been accepted to Harvard University and hopes to enroll in the dual degree program where she will major in Business and Music.

"I am beyond grateful to be a recipient of the 2022 Musicians Making a Difference Scholarship,” says Amy. “The scholarship will be invaluable in paying for my college and conservatory education and allow me to focus on becoming a better musician and person. Thank you so much to Pearl Drums for supporting musicians who are passionate about giving back to their community!"
