Music for Minors

Founded in 1976, Music for Minors' mission is to nurture in children a lifelong love of music. Today, we reach more than 23,000 students in transitional kindergarten through fifth grade with weekly, sequential music education programs. We work to ensure that a solid music background is an integral part of every student's well-rounded education. Music for Minors is committed to reaching under-resourced schools and turns no classroom away. We subsidize all of our programs from 10 to 100 percent, depending on need.

Music education transforms lives by:

• Exposing children to the incomparable
• Boosting academic achievement
• Enhancing personal development
• Sparking creativity and innovation
• Promoting teamwork and discipline
• Building community
• Creating a pathway for vocal and instrumental music in upper grades
• Increasing lifelong enjoyment and appreciation of the arts

Our comprehensive, standards-based program includes a variety of experiences through active participation in singing, musical games, movement and dance, listening and music appreciation, use of rhythm instruments, and music theory.
