The Future in Music Program is focused on promoting access to high quality education to brass players who are marginalized on the basis of gender or may not have such access.
Our mentorship program connects mentees who are high school classical and jazz brass players hoping to pursue a career in music with mentors who are undergraduate students at music schools across North America.
The inaugural season of the mentorship program took place from August 2022-November 2022, and the 2023 mentorship program is currently underway. During the program, high school students are paired with mentors and regularly meet to work on audition prep, get help with applications, ask questions, and hear about the experiences of older brass players.
It is important for there to be educational opportunities for EVERY brass player, to create gradual change and remedy race, gender, and other imbalances in the brass world.
