Online College Level Music Program for Ages 17 to 24
Our college musicians are entering a world that has changed dramatically in the past few months. Almost overnight, and at an accelerated pace of learning, we have all had to pivot to a virtual platform for much of our activities.
We are in an uncharted period of learning and possibilities due to Covid-19. While no one knows for sure how our cultural and educational organizations will change, it is clear they will change – in fact, they already have. Our need to express ourselves through the arts and to continually improve as musicians will not change. There will always be a market for the arts to lift our spirits and to remind us of our collective humanity. However, it is a reality that profound new ways of creating and sharing art, and the economics of art will have to replace old models.
