Our Story

Meet Anna

Hi, I’m Anna Levitskiy, the 17-year-old founder of Music & Smiles.

I’ve been playing piano since I was four, and music has always been a huge part of my life.

Through volunteering with children and teens with special needs, I discovered something even more meaningful — the joy that comes from friendship, acceptance, and having a place where you belong.

That experience inspired me to create Music & Smiles: a place where children and teens can enjoy music, make friends, have fun, and feel accepted for exactly who they are.

Every child deserves a place where they belong.

This is just the beginning, and I hope you’ll be part of our journey as we spread more music, friendship, and smiles.

Who We Help

Children and teens with special needs — and the families who love them.

No musical experience is necessary. Come as you are. You belong here.
