All about the Savannah Music Festival's local and national music education programs:
Musical Explore

Since 2003, the Savannah Music Festival has grown a music education program that is unlike that of any arts organization in the region. It is rooted in our belief that the arts are fundamental to the cognitive, affective, physical and intellectual development of all children. Each school year, our Musical Explorers program reaches more than 12,000 K-2 children throughout Savannah and the surrounding five counties. During the festival, our Acoustic Music Seminar and Swing Central Jazz mentorship programs offer enriching musical growth experiences for the top young string players and high school jazz programs across the nation, respectively.
