What started as a pet project born out of boredom during the shutdown is now a full-fledged organization with 170 volunteers offering more than 5,000 lessons to 500 students around the world.
But it's also raising money to help national coronavirus efforts.
"We raised almost thirty thousand dollars for the CDC Foundation," said Julia Segal, an incoming senior at Gunn High in Palo Alto. The Foundation is a non-profit that was created by Congress to support the CDC.
Segal started “Quarantunes” out of her love for music and a desire to contribute to the fight against the pandemic.
But as more people signed up for lessons, Segal realized there was still one major barrier.
