Preparing Students for a Brighter Future Through Music
Musica Franklin's COVID 19 Response
The Musica Franklin staff and board are doing what we can to help curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and support our community at the same time. We have canceled all programs and special events until further notice.
Our teachers have been very busy exploring and implementing all the creative ways we can support remote learning. From phone call check-ins with students to Zoom remote lessons to doorstep delivery of instruments and work packets, we aim to be socially connected while physically distant. We are mindful of equity and making sure all our students have access to remote options.
We are aware that many of our families will be impacted heavily by schools closing, loss of work, and other direct and indirect effects of the pandemic. We encourage our program participants to remain a community that supports each other while respecting social distancing guidelines.
We are also concerned for our staff, who rely on their teaching hours for their livelihoods. While the program is closed, all teaching staff will have the option to make up their full hours remotely through online lessons, extra administrative duties and curriculum development, direct volunteer work with our families in need of assistance, and volunteering with other local direct service organizations to help the larger community through this pandemic.
These are troubling and trying times, but together we will weather them. Let music, now more than ever, be an inspiration to us.
With love and hope for a brighter future,
Musica Franklin

Musica Franklin's intensive after-school music program is based on the belief that that the pursuit of musical excellence teaches students to strive for excellence in all areas of their lives. It is modeled on El Sistema, a hugely successful music and social change program that was started in Venezuela 40 years ago. El Sistema is now practiced all over the world, helping to lift up children and their families.
