Music learning enriches lives – everyone's life, at any age.

That well-founded belief is what guides Music Education City. The Nashville Symphony's groundbreaking education initiative promises fun and interactive learning opportunities for the newcomer as well as the advanced listener. Offered throughout the year, our programs benefit schools and student academic performance even as they bring families and communities together.  Music Education City brings you to
                                 the Nashville Symphony… and the Nashville Symphony to you. 

Background:
Music Education City was designed after a 2006 independent, in-depth study of area school and community needs with the involvement of one of the nation's foremost music education expert and current Nashville Symphony Vice President of Education and Community Engagement, Mitchell Korn. The Nashville Symphony, local school systems and community leaders will partner to implement this broad-based program benefiting the entire region.  Music Education City, as a result, encompasses new and revised services to schools and children, as well as families, adults and the further development of new audiences. Supported by six "pillars," each represents an area of educational emphasis; the six pillars of program service are:    
 
1. Advocacy
2. Children's Concerts
3. Music Instruction
4. Family and Adult Education
5. Professional Development
6. Education on Tour
