LISTEN LEARN and PERFORM with Music for Youth

Meet the Orchestra

We thank our sponsors the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation and the CT Partnership for the Arts. 

Music for Youth and Pequot Library have been partnering with the Bridgeport Schools to bring students a look into the science and math behind the music.  This program has gone virtual this year.  Any teacher who would like to use this content in the classroom should send an email to musicforyouthct@gmail.com to subscribe to the program and receive supplemental materials.  Your students will enjoy the conversation and music sharing that goes on in this interesting series.
