This Fall, Equity Arc and El Sistema USA are launching a virtual series entitled College Access for Young Musicians designed to expand collegiate access.
While many young musicians navigate their early training and college audition process with the help of a private teacher or support from a youth music training program, many families face this process in isolation, making challenging decisions about which schools to apply to.
Register for our upcoming sessions to gain all the insights you need for a successful transition to higher education.
