For more than 20 years, the world-class musicians of Euterpe: Music Is The Key have conducted LIVE and VIRTUAL, interactive, fun, educational performance programs for CHILDREN, principally those in underserved communities. Euterpe’s unique evidence-based education/performance programs involve children’s participation in in a variety of fun, creative ways.  Scientific studies have documented that most children today are not exposed to the Western musical genres of Classical, Jazz, and related musical styles, either recorded or live. The long-term educational, artistic and health benefits of this music are well-known. Despite this, vitally important vibrant music programs, that were once an integral part of the public-school curriculum, are no longer unavailable to the vast majority of children in our country. Learning music and participating in music-making activities is known to provide inestimable benefits to the developing brain, aiding immensely with focus, discipline, academic learning, synchrony of movement, all areas of positive social development and interaction, (including fostering self-esteem, confidence, empathy, sense of purpose, social bonding, cooperation, and more), as well as overall health and well-being throughout one’s life.

Euterpe: Music Is The Key’s life-enhancing, evidence-based music education/performance programs plant musical seeds, inspiring children of diverse cultural backgrounds to want to hear more of this music, to play a musical instrument and to become involved in music-making activities, such as singing in a choir or playing in a band or orchestra. When children are involved with this music early on, they become much better equipped in life.
