Music Forward programs provide information, tools, and unmatched access and opportunity to high-school and college-aged young people. Our programs help break the barriers of gender, poverty, and race and are designed to spark discovery, chart careers, and define pathways to success in the music industry.

Our workshops, panels, and performances open doors to a nationwide network of music industry insiders to redefine what’s possible for tomorrow’s innovators, artists, and leaders. Teachers are invited to engage their classrooms and use Music Forward content to supplement curriculum to connect students’ passions to professions.

Fall 2021 Program Dates Coming Soon!
