On-Stage/TMP Awarded SFM the Distributor of the Year Award for 2016. The award was presented at the 2017 NAMM Show in Anaheim CA. The Distributor of the Year Award represents an ongoing profitable relationship and outstanding sales in 2016. This is the fourth year in a row that SFM has won.     

Accessories manufacturer and innovator On-Stage is proud to donate an array of music products and accessories to Harmony Project of Los Angeles, California. On Stage is a Connecticut-based, family-owned business with a long history of supporting charities, community programs, and schools that promote music education and performance.   Coming off another great Winter NAMM Show, which is the largest trade show in the music industry, On-Stage is giving this wonderful organization all the products it displayed at the massive trade show. The On-Stage NAMM booth is large for an accessories manufacturer, and this year it boasted over 200 products from a variety of categories, including instrument stands, tuners, microphones, bags and cases, and more. These products were on display all weekend for dealers, musicians, and other NAMM attendees. Now they are on their way to Los Angeles, California’s Harmony Project, where they will facilitate instruction, performances, creativity, confidence and teamwork in some of the city’s least-served neighborhoods. This is the second year that On-Stage has collaborated with NAMM to donate products to a local organization; last year’s donation went to Rock n/ Roll Camp for Girls Los Angeles.     Harmony Project was founded in 2001 with only 36 students and a keen awareness of the good music could do for young people at risk in a city where 68% of public schools offer no musical instruction whatsoever. Since then, propelled by Executive Director Myka Miler, the organization’s success and growth have been nothing short of stunning. Currently, Harmony Project is committed to educating over 2000 young people throughout the entire course of their uninterrupted school enrollment. Last year all 62 graduating seniors were accepted to college.   The not-for-profit Harmony Project has won numerous national awards, including the Presidential Citizens Medal in 2011 and the Coming Up Taller Award in 2009. In 2015 the U.S. Department of Education named them as a Bright Spot in Hispanic Education. Harmony Project relies greatly on donations. They expressed their great appreciation for the generosity of individuals, endowments and corporations like On-Stage.
