THE JOSHUA GLYNN MUSIC + ARTS CENTER
At The Boys & Girls Club of Plymouth
Something Amazing is Coming to Plymouth!
We are excited to announce that final plans have been approved and construction is about to get underway on the Joshua Glynn Music + Arts Center at the Boys and Girls Club of Plymouth.
This landmark project is at the heart of the Joshua Glynn Memorial Foundation’s mission to share God’s love through music with children in the local community and around the world.
The Center will include all of the components necessary to help young people discover and cultivate a love of music and develop their skills as musicians. The facility will also provide opportunities for learning in the related fields of music recording, video production, radio and podcast creation as well as dance/performing arts.
Help Support This Worthwhile Project
The project has been made possible by generous corporate and private donors, participants in the Joshua Glynn Memorial Golf Tournament and proceeds from our highly successful annual Glynnt Music Festival. (We look forward to your continued post-construction support to financially sustain the project and programs moving forward).

The Fulfillment of a Dream.
Back in High School, Joshua volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club with a simple goal of introducing kids to the joy of music, knowing it could be a gift that would last a lifetime. Through the music program he developed, Josh would give lessons to the kids and put together little bands so they could experience playing music together. This was a labor of love for Josh. The Foundation has reclaimed a section of the club to carry on the work Josh started there.
Rooted in Plymouth
As a Plymouth based facility, The Joshua Glynn Music + Arts Center is a tremendous resource for kids right here in town. This state of the art complex with world class amenities will help local kids discover and develop their technical and creative talents in the realm of music and other media. It is something for the town to be proud of. But the benefits of the center will extend far beyond the town.
Connecting the World.
At the heart of the center is a “Globally Connected Classroom”. This internet connected classroom will enable underprivileged kids from around the world (especially those from the orphanages in Africa and Haiti which Josh visited and worked with over the years and which the Foundation now actively supports) to connect with lessons, instruction and other resources available locally at the facility

About The Facility and Programs
Full Audio and Video Recording Studio
Here, full bands and individual performers will be able to have their music engineered and recorded on state of the art professional digital recording equipment. Both the performance area and studio control room have been designed by a Pro Audio Design, a world class leader in audio production and rival the systems used by famous recording artists.
Broadcast/Podcast Suite
While traditional radio has undergone significant changes in recent years, there are still tremendous career opportunities for young people who may be interested in broadcasting in both terrestrial and satellite radio. It goes without saying that the world of Podcasting is experience an explosion in popularity as well. The Center’s Broadcast/Podcast Studio (with support from WATD Radio) provides a platform for students to learn and master both the creative and technical sides of the medium.
Soundproof Practice Rooms
Within the facility are 6 acoustically optimized practice rooms where budding musicians can practice and collaborate without disturbing other musicians. Each soundproofed room is large enough to accommodate a full band with instruments and amplifiers.
Globally Connected Classroom
This local project has a global focus with the aim of spreading the love of music to children around the world. The Center’s Globally Connected Classroom with its installed internet connected video and audio systems will enable young people from our affiliated missions in Africa, Haiti and beyond to remotely access live musical instruction and interactive classes taking place at the center in real time over the internet. Through a collaborative affiliation with the school, many classes will be taught by Bridgewater State University music/education majors.
Interactive Media Lab
Now more than ever, Music is highly integrated with creative video and other media. With this in mind, The Center’s Media Lab also provides young people with access to instruction and equipment related to the art of video/media production. Thanks to our close relationship with PACTV, children can learn the fundamentals of video editing and production while having access to all of the best in class software and hardware necessary to complete creative video projects on their own.
Instrument Lending Library
No young person should ever be denied the joy of making music due to financial limitations. The Center’s Instrument Lending Library offers access to a variety of free loaner instruments students can check out and use. Whether it’s a long term primary practice/performance instrument or a short term trial to satisfy a creative urge for experimentation, students will simply need to sign the instrument out (with their parents’ permission) and return when finished. If a child decides to stick with a particular instrument, a grant can be arranged to get them their own instrument.
Multi-Purpose Creative Performance Space
One of the best things about music is performing for others. Our multi-purpose performance room with stage area and flexible seating provides musicians, dancers and other creative performers with a venue to put on small productions, spotlight events, rehearsals and special performances.
