My friend and music partner Mike Davis’ daughter Nora has an awesome, musical opportunity. Please join me in donating, and help this kid get to Australia! It’s a huge honor to be asked, and Nora has worked her butt off to get here. I’m proud to help our next generation of fabulous musicians! Go Nora!

Our Mission
Michiana Performing And Adaptive Arts Community (MPAAAC) believes in helping students of ALL ABILITIES find their performance and artistic expression through traditional and adaptive means.
Our Vision
MPAAAC believes in the power of artist and community working together. Our special needs community is critically underrepresented in the performing arts: identifying this, MPAAAC’s solution is to build an inclusive performing arts school in the greater South Bend area that caters to a performer’s ability.
Values
We believe in relationship-based education - the emphasis is placed on getting to know our students as individuals before we jump into the curriculum. Our favorite question to ask - how can I teach you if I do not know you?
MPAAAC - ADAPTIVE ARTS - ARTS for ALL ABILITIES - help us help students become the artists that they wish to be!
