About Us
Our Mission
Treehouse Music is a program based around a simple belief: everyone deserves access to music.
But access alone isn’t enough. Most people who quit playing don’t lack talent; they were simply never taught how to say something of their own with it. That’s why we teach expression first. Every class centers on creative agency, collaboration and self-expression, so students build a real relationship with music on their own terms, not a technique checklist. We believe music is more than a subject. It’s a pathway to human connection, identity, and self-worth.
From improv music circles in public libraries to songwriting clubs in after-school programs, Treehouse Music helps students from all backgrounds discover the power of creative expression in a safe environment. Since launching, we’ve partnered with nonprofits, schools, and libraries including Catholic Charities and The Academy Project to bring the power of music into everyday spaces.
Our Founder
Our Founder
Marwan Nassar first picked up a guitar as a kid and discovered more than just music.
He found a sense of identity and a safe space to grow. Access, however, didn't come easily; he didn't have the chance to study music until high school. Looking back, he wished he had access to music earlier, because of how deeply it shaped the person he became. That spark eventually carried him from classrooms to stages at SXSW, international festivals, Filipino national TV, and collaborations with GRAMMY-winning artists. Along the way, Marwan became a credentialed music educator, committed to giving students the kind of opportunities he once longed for himself.
Treehouse Music was born from that belief: that music changes lives. Today, Marwan's vision is to partner with schools and community organizations so that more students, no matter their background, can experience the same growth, connection, and space for self-expression that music gave him.
In their words
What our Students Say
“He is super amazing and a great teacher. Within just a few months, I've learn the true beauty of music and I've become so passionate about music. He would stay after school with me and a few other students just to teach us how to play a guitar. I am truly grateful.”
