The Noel Pointer Foundation was established in 1995 as a not-for-profit corporation with the mission of providing opportunities in arts education for children and young adults; creating programs and resources which encourage and nurture young musicians; and preserving and the rich legacy of Noel Pointer, a celebrated jazz violinist, educator, and humanitarian. In 1998 the Foundation established the Noel Pointer School of Music to provide motivated children from economically disadvantaged neighborhoods with intensive musical instruction on string instruments. The Foundation supplements their instruction with music theory, music appreciation, music history, visit to concerts and visits from performing artists, especially children.A collaboration between the Noel Pointer Foundation and NYC Board of Education resulted in the 1998 establishment of the only string music program in Brooklyn School District 13 and 17 offering instruction in violin, viola, cello and piano.
