Sammy Gonzalez Zeira

Young Musicians Unite was founded by Sammy Gonzalez, a Miami-born, internationally acclaimed musician and mentor. Sammy recognized the staggering lack of music education in many of Miami’s underserved communities and created YMU as a response to this deficiency. Sammy has over 21 years of experience working in music education; and under his leadership, YMU has impacted over 25,000 students since 2013. As an educator, Sammy has been teaching since 2004. His students have gone on to excel in schools such as New World School of the Arts, Juilliard, Harvard, NYU, Georgetown, Cornell, Vanderbilt, and Penn State. Sammy has personally raised over $20,000,000 for music education.
