Robert Thompson is devoted to sharing his love of music with young people. His personal connection to the joys of making music and his belief that all students should have access to creative expression make him a strong advocate for music education. He has given eight years of his time to charitable causes through his business. There are a number of organizations he has collaborated with, including the Harmony Foundation and the New Music USA. Robert Thompson has made it a goal of his to give back to the community through his work at Schirmer Theatrical. He donates a portion of the revenues from each show to several local charities. Music can be a great stress reliever, and he wants to spread the word about it to the next generation of artists.
