(Limited dates available)
Texas Music Partners (TMP) has a project designed to bring professional musicians into the schools to perform for the kids. Each year TMP will feature a certain style of music, artist, or theme. TMP will come to the school and (1) teach a workshop on the season’s featured theme, then (2) a live band will come in to perform a show, based on that theme, for the school.
Sorry, but the Live Music courses are limited until we can get more funding for the project.
