Watch what happens when students are given the opportunity to discover their voice through music.
For more than a decade, Adopt the Arts has been helping elementary school students build confidence, creativity, self-expression, and a sense of belonging through consistent, high-quality music education during the school day.
In this special feature, hear directly from the educators, artists, and advocates making this work possible. From longtime Adopt the Arts music teacher Molly Shelby, reflecting on ten years of impact at Rosewood Avenue Elementary, to Ronald Goodman at Parmelee Avenue Elementary, whose position is made possible through our valued partners at Let Music Fill My World, this video highlights the power of music to transform lives.
We're also proud to share our work with the Music Impact Coalition, a national collaborative effort dedicated to strengthening and expanding music education opportunities for students everywhere.
Plus, students at Parmelee Elementary experience the power of professional mentorship through special visits from acclaimed session musician Laval Belle and fellow professional artists, who inspire the next generation through music, storytelling, and real-world experiences.
Together, these educators, artists, and partners are helping ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive through the power of music.
🎶 Music education changes lives. This is what that impact looks like.
