nowledge is power, and several Philadelphia musical institutions realize that. Throughout the city, a collective of music education organizations are working to cultivate a new generation of musicians who are artistically versatile and aspire to be the Philadelphia region’s finest. These organizations allow young artists to hone their skills, dive deeply into rich and diverse musical traditions, and experience the joys and discipline of public performance. Each organization creates opportunities for youth and emerging young artists to see, hear, and feel the final musical product by being engaged in the creative process. This collaborative group works to improve and expand access to high quality music and arts education for youth in the greater Philadelphia region so that the students are more engaged in learning and find multiple pathways to success in school and in their community. For more information about these music education providers, please visit myartsrising.org/musiced.
