What Makes Modern Band Unique?
We take a student-led and culturally-relevant approach to music education through our modern band program, which teaches students popular genres such as rock, pop, R&B, Latin, rap, and country along with styles more typically found in school programs such as classical and jazz.

86%
of teachers reported that their modern band class engaged students that were not engaged in school music before.

85%
of teachers reported that students are more willing to express themselves since they began implementing a modern band program.

82%
of teachers reported that Music Will has helped them teach music genres that are culturally relevant to the students they serve.
“Students are able to see themselves reflected in the curriculum and are culturally validated as the music is representative of their identity.”
