Celebrate Music!

The NAMM Foundation and the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus sponsored a video contest that answered the question, "What Makes Music Education Great in Your School?" Six winners were selected to host a two-day residency with The NAMM Foundation and the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. 

Produced in collaboration with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, the Community Forum fall tour continues in Miami, FL with a live webcast on the morning of October 29 to celebrate the benefits of music education, with a special focus on the community's commitment to assuring access and opportunity. See Miami-Dade County Public School's winning video, here!
