American Roots Music Education offers interactive programs that can augment school music programs, school social studies programs, and youth/community center programs. We focus on styles of American popular music, such as blues grass, jazz, Tejano, blues, folk and Native American music, which are usually not well represented in textbooks or school music programs.
Our musician-educators are well-known, award-winning professionals who can tailor a program to meet the needs and abilities of almost any audience. All of our programs include background materials and activity suggestions developed by professional educators. We provide all sound and audio-visual equipment, including set-up and operation, so that every program can be professionally produced at any school or venue.
Performances and educational materials are provided to Metro Nashville Public Schools at no charge, and to other schools and organizations at a minimal fee. We will gladly work with your school or non-profit group to help you secure funding to cover any expenses related to bringing our programs to your community.
