MacPhail K-12@Home

Live, Online Music Education Designed Specially for K-12 Students Offered at No Cost for Families

Originally developed in response to the switch from in-person to online eLearning, MacPhail Center for Music School Partnerships is pleased to continue providing custom designed online music instruction for students studying at home.

Offered in collaboration with the Minnesota Music Educators Association and Perpich Center for Arts Education.

The program also provides resources for music educators and parents to assist with online and distance music education.

MacPhail K-12@Home is offered at NO CHARGE to students currently enrolled in Minnesota schools thanks to generous funding from the Otto Bremer Trust and other individual donors.

Due to COVID-19 challenges, MacPhail is working closely with school administrators, music educators and parents to assist in programming for Spring 2021. Please check back in the upcoming month for updates on new sessions.
