With support from the California Arts Council, Music for Minors will provide its In-School Music Education Program of standards-based music education in elementary schools from San Bruno to San Jose. The comprehensive, culturally-diverse music program, presented in weekly 30-minute lessons, includes music learning objectives tailored for each grade level and gives students a variety of experiences in singing, movement, theory, dance musical games and rhythmic instruments.
MFM’s core program delivers weekly, standards-based music instruction to preschool–6th grade students. Our trained teaching artists lead 30–45-minute in-class lessons for approximately 18-30 weeks per school year, incorporating singing, movement, rhythm, percussion, and music literacy. Lessons are culturally responsive and support social-emotional learning while reinforcing classroom content, fostering student confidence, collaboration, and creativity.
