The Story

Rebecca Cypher is the owner of Musical Journeys, a music studio in Holtsville, NY. She has had several teachers and mentors throughout her life who have been instrumental in shaping her character and career. Without their encouragement, dedication and belief, she would not be doing what she loves today. She is passionate about giving others the opportunities she has been given.

Ms. Cypher founded DYHTCS in the summer of 2018 with a small group of her students. The object was using music as a tool to do good and literally using our voices to benefit others.

We are continuing this mission by using the funds we raise to sponsor the private music education of local children in our community at no cost to them or their families.
