Music in the Schools Foundation

About Music in the Schools Foundation

Founded in 1995, Music in the Schools Foundation is dedicated to inspiring children and youth to participate in music as a fundamental part of their education. MIS provides music instruction to almost 1500 pre-K through 5th grade students in the Ravenswood School District in East Palo Alto, at no cost to the district or the students. During the school day, students learn the basics of music through singing, dance, playing instruments, and engaging in comprehensive music activities. Our teachers offer inspiring instruction in a supportive environment, where students are encouraged to experience the joy of music while developing music literacy. A strong music program supports academic success and Music in the Schools Foundation is dedicated to helping students achieve that success.
