Beyond the Classroom Music Programs
EAR CANDY believes that kids need a holistic education when it comes to music. The positive effects of classroom teaching is undeniable, however, there is more to music education then learning notes, chords, songs, etc. Our Beyond The Classroom initiatives provide some very unique experiences that help teach music education in a different manner, potentially one that leaves a lifelong impact on the children we serve. Below are examples of opportunities we share with youth we serve:
  • Artist Sound Check
  • Meet & Greets with Artists
  • Music Venue Visit
  • Recording Studio Visit
  • Radio Station Visit
  • Tickets to Music Events
  • Trips to Museums
We all learn differently and music education is a subject that needs to be experienced. Please explore the different Beyond The Classroom opportunities we have been able to offer children thirsty for a fresh approach to music education!


Visit a Beyond The Classroom Experience
We want you to be able to see how impactful a these experiences can be for the youth we're impacting.  If you're interested in visiting or sponsoring a Beyond the Classroom opportunity please visit our Event Section and email your request to Info@EarCandyCharity.ORG with "Beyond the Classroom" in the subject line.
