The Workshop

HOW 36 PERFORMERS
             TRANSFORM 300 STUDENTS
                          IN 3 DAYS!

Music brings people together for many purposes: teamwork, respect, accomplishment, caring & self-discipline, a sense of living in understanding in self-worth and MUCH more.       

The Music Outreach Program aims to:

  1. Encourage music in the schools of our nation and the world.
  2. Train young people in performance.
  3. Share insight and understanding  of different cultures.
  4. Strengthen character and develop self-esteem, self-worth and self-discipline.

Students involved in Music Programs...
  - Achieve higher SAT scores
  - Are more likely to graduate from high school
     and attend college
  - Are less likely to be involved with gangs and
     substance abuse

 
THREE-DAY WORKSHOPS INCLUDE:

  • The Young Americans® demonstration performances.
  • Educational classes & workshops.
  • Comprehensive evaluation: a time for each school  to perform for our staff and receive hands-on instruction and suggestions (not mandatory).
