About me: Music in Schools Today is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that has been promoting music education in public schools and youth centers in low income neighborhoods since 1983. We believe that music nurtures the human spirit, promotes personal development, and is central to learning and the creative process. Music and the arts are as essential to a well-rounded education as literacy, math and science. Music, both in and out of the classroom, promotes physical well-being and social understanding and helps build bridges within local and global communities.
Mission Statement:
A San Francisco Bay Area non-profit organization with national impact, Music in Schools Today (MuST) advocates for, supports and develops integrated, accessible, sustainable and measurable music-in-education programs that improve student achievement.
Who I'd like to meet: ~ Students who are studying or are interested in studying music or the music business.
~ Musicians who are interested in mentoring students.
~ Other non-profit organizations, particularly those that are improving their communities through arts and music education and programs.
