Our Youth Education Mission

In recent years, understanding of the value of music in education has changed. Parents, educators, and researchers now agree that music has values for children that extend considerably beyond the ability to learn to play an instrument or sing in the school chorus. Music education is now widely recognized for its impact on learning in other areas of the curriculum as well as for its contribution to a higher quality school or community-learning environment.

The Manhattan Producers Alliance is creating programs and resources, which will enable schools and community organizations to unlock the potential of music and music technology across all disciplines. Our goal is to create curricula and provide support, training and innovative programs, setting a new standard for the role of music and music technology in K-12 education and redefining its place in the classroom.

By defining best practices in technology enhanced music education, the Manhattan Producers Alliance can affect positive change in schools, communities, and organizations.

Sound Bites is a music technology education initiative which provides intensive instruction and total immersion in music production and songwriting. Click here to learn more!
