Music for Minors Transforming children's lives through music education since 1976 | Bay Area preschool & elementary

Music for Minors is a nonprofit with 45 years of expertise in elementary school music education. Our mission is to nurture in children a lifelong love of music. Operating in the San Francisco Bay Area, our staff provides students in transitional kindergarten through fifth grade with a program of diverse, high-quality musical experiences. The Music for Minors curriculum is sequential and varied, including visual aids, props, and instruments. Lessons include singing, listening, reading, theory, movement, dancing, and playing rhythm instruments and recorders. Our volunteer and professional educators are trained in general music, recorders, and classroom management.

โ€œThis song makes me proud.โ€ ๐ŸŽถ

Thatโ€™s what one fourth grader at North Shoreview Elementary shared while singing โ€œAmerica the Beautifulโ€ with Miss Nancy. We love these little classroom moments when music helps students connect, express themselves, and make meaning together. ๐Ÿ’™

Music for Minors brings hands-on music education to preschool and elementary schools across the Bay Area, thanks to our dedicated educators and supporters.
