Get to Know Us
Our Story
Harmony 4 All was founded by Bianca and Joshua Quddus, who began their musical journey at PS100Q, a public elementary school in South Ozone Park, Queens, New York. Their inspiring music teacher, April Rachmuth, introduced them to the joy of music through the recorder, igniting a passion for music that shaped their future.
Their dedication and love for music earned them a unique opportunity to perform on-stage in Carnegie Hall's prestigious Link-Up program, where they played alongside a professional orchestra. This unforgettable experience solidified their commitment to music.
As they progressed through elementary school, Bianca and Joshua faced limitations in access to advanced musical instruments. Despite the availability of only clarinets and saxophones, their music teacher taught Bianca the clarinet and Joshua the saxophone, allowing them to continue their musical education.
The Turning Point
Witnessing many of their friends abandon their musical pursuits due to a lack of resources deeply affected Bianca and Joshua. This fueled their determination to make a difference.
Enrolling in the Juilliard Music Advancement Program further deepened their understanding of the barriers within the music community and music education. Grateful for their opportunities,Bianca and Joshua realized that not everyone had the same access to music education.
