The Summit always hits different when the crew from Hip Hop Education Center pulls up! 🎤

What began as a handful of workshops over the past five years has grown into a transformative Hip-Hop track and a thriving community of educators, artists, beatboxers, DJs, MCs, and scholars. Together, we've expanded opportunities for teachers to explore Hip-Hop pedagogy, songwriting, music production, and the K–12 Hip-Hop Music Education Guidelines.

Thank you to the Hip-Hop Education Roundtable, our incredible guest presenters, and every educator who came ready to learn, share, and build.

The future of music education is collaborative, vibrant, and rooted in Hip-Hop.

The Collegiate Ambassadors were integral to the success of the 2026 Modern Band Summit!

Coming from universities across the country, these college students supported our sessions, brought invaluable energy to conference events, and shared the vital perspective of next-gen music educators.

We are so grateful for your dedication and passion and are lucky to have you as part of our Music Will community! 🎶👏

This year’s Artist Keynote, Yola offered so much more than just a speech.

From opening up about her healing journey to leading a hands-on workshop on vocal health and technique, delivering a captivating live performance, and staying until the very end of our evening event—she gave our educators unforgettable wisdom to carry back to their classrooms and students.

Yola, we are deeply grateful for your time, generosity, and inspiring presence!

❤️ Be sure to follow Yola and check out her music wherever you listen to keep the inspiration going!
