Music education is not just fun, it is a necessity.
For years, studies have illuminated the importance of music in the development of cognitive and collaborative skills vital to learning. Recent studies have also highlighted that individuals exposed to music education are more likely to be engaged citizens, go on to higher education, have higher paying jobs and strive more for personal excellence.
Music For Minors is a nonprofit organization founded in 1976, dedicated to nurturing in children a lifelong love of music. Our goal is to keep music education alive in elementary schools, grades K-4. We provide a variety of music education programs including our volunteer In-School Docent Program, the Redwood City Music For Learning Program, the San Jose After School Program, the Roving Docent Program and our outstanding Music Educators Training.
For over 30 years, Music For Minors has been bringing comprehensive, well-respected music education programs to elementary schools throughout San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. For many of the children we serve, MFM programs are the only music education they will ever receive.
