Music Program

BAM's In-School Music Program provides participatory activities for students in a wide range of musical genres such as jazz, folk music, and a variety of cultural styles. Students learn to appreciate and understand music by interacting directly with professional musicians and experienced teaching artists, preparing them to see a related music performance at BAM. This year's focus will be on African music.
