Music Lessons for Vulnerable Communities!

Over the past two years, Musicians for the World has maintained partnerships with The Orchestra Now (TON) at Bard College and the University of Maryland through their String Pedagogy Class. 

In collaboration with TON, we organize a series of masterclasses led by TONers specializing in various different instruments per semester. These educational events are open and directed to our Musicians for the World (MFW) community, resulting in participation from music students from various music programs and regions of the world. 

Our partnership with the University of Maryland’s (UM) String Pedagogy Class has connected talented graduate students studying string pedagogy to MFW’s student community. Thanks to this exchange, our students have the opportunity to receive one-on-one music instruction for an entire semester. In addition to our students learning a great deal, it is also a fantastic experience for growth and exposure for UM students who are gearing up to join the workforce.

We are happy to announce that this semester we will be starting a new partnership with the Boston Conservatory at Berklee (BCB) Double Bass String Pedagogy class. This new partnership will impact several double bass students around the world while improving the teaching skills of students attending the BCB, one of the leading music schools in the world. 

These partnerships are a perfect representation of what we are and what we do - we are a team of passionate musicians trying to help those who don’t have access to equal opportunities, all while creating connections across the globe through virtual music education. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, donors, supporters, and MFW family, and we are looking forward to many more connections to come.
