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.
Note: Cohort participants are expected to attend all sessions.
“Every talented young musician deserves the chance to pursue their dreams, regardless of the barriers they face. This collaboration with Equity Arc helps ensure that pathways into collegiate music programs are accessible, transparent, and welcoming to students from all backgrounds.” – Elizabeth Moulthrop, Executive Director, El Sistema USA®
