The New York Pops Education Programs serve thousands of children every year. Since the inception of the first education programs in 1990, more than 18,500 children have been touched by the magic of music. That’s no small feat in a time of budgetary crises and cutbacks in art education. By increasing young people’s awareness and understanding of the music-making experience, The New York Pops Education Programs both build audiences and train musicians for the future. Working with the New York City Public Schools and youth organizations, The New York Pops provides children with free music lessons, free admission to rehearsals and concerts, and free classroom programs designed to spark the creative potential within every child.

“Music has played a tremendously important role in my life. It allows me to escape reality for just a moment. Music inspires me to live outside my limits. When I’m playing my clarinet my creativity is able to go wherever I want.”
Jamie Chang, Salute to Music Student 2002-2003
