MUSICIANS IN THE SCHOOLS

ProMusica musicians and guest artists visit local schools and work directly with students in the classroom. This program provides an opportunity to learn from professionals, while developing a greater appreciation for classical music.

• Musicians visit area schools multiple times throughout the year to meet with and coach instrumental music students.
• Students are invited to attend ProMusica concert rehearsals.
• ProMusica musicians and staff build relationships with the teachers and administrators who manage the music education curriculum.

Teachers and administrators may select up to four visits per school year. If your school is interested in this free program, contact Logan Kelly at lkelly@promusicacolumbus.org or 614.464.0066.

Musicians in the Schools is made possible through the generous support of JPMorgan Chase and Target.
