OUR MUSIC COMMUNITY . . . HOW IT WORKS Blue Bear School of Music, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has provided music education for more than 40,000 adults, kids, and teens since 1971.

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS Music education: old school, new school, your school! Through partnerships with public and private schools and community centers, Blue Bear's outreach continues to grow. Music education goes beyond instrument lessons; songwriting helps us work through problems, music theory gives us the foundation we need to grow, and digital audio production offers new skills in our ever-changing technological world.
Philanthropic support has allowed Blue Bear to grow its programs at schools and community centers across the city. We are making music and changing lives through our outreach programs.
