About Music for Minors
Transforming Children’s Lives Through Music Education Since 1976
Founded nearly 50 years ago in response to drastic cuts to arts funding, Music for Minors has grown from a small group of dedicated volunteers to a leading provider of music education in the Bay Area. We are committed to ensuring that every child experiences the transformative benefits of music education.
What we do
We enrich the lives of thousands of elementary students across the San Francisco Bay Area through a diverse range of musical experiences that foster a lifelong love of music.
Our Mission
To nurture a lifelong love of music in children, aiming to create a world where all have access to high-quality, equitable music education. This commitment enhances not only musical skills but also overall academic performance and social-emotional development.
This is the best outside program I have experienced at my school in the last 32 years!
