Music for People is a nonprofit organization that promotes self-expression through music and improvisation. Gathering momentum from the more than 20 years of workshop and concert experience of cellist and teacher David Darling, MfP was founded in 1988 by David Darling and Bonnie Insull. Based on the principle that music is a natural creative expression available to everyone, this right to creative expression is expressed in our Bill of Musical Rights.


Music for People acts as a catalyst in gathering people together to play and sing by creating safe environments in which they can explore music. MfP offers workshops for both beginners and advanced improvisation students throughout the year at a wide variety of locations, many of them in beautiful natural settings that serve to enhance the workshop experience.

David Darling teaches at most of the Music for People events.
