Join us for an inspiring presentation from Music Youth Partnership, an organization transforming the landscape of music education. Their unique model brings professional musician-mentors into school band and orchestra programs—supporting student growth, energizing classrooms, and helping music educators reach their full potential. By also providing instruments to students who need them most, Music Youth Partnership is breaking down barriers and ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive through music.
