Photo Story: Celebrate Music in Nebraska’s Schools #MIOSM
March is Music In Our Schools Month, a time to support the high-quality music education programs in our schools and boost the benefits Arts Education has on our students. We witnessed this impact last summer when we collaborated with Hear Nebraska for the Good Living Tour. For each stop on the summer concert tour, we invited students to perform as the opening act every night and more than 35 student musicians participated.
Below are a few of the photo highlights from the 2016 tour courtesy of Hear Nebraska. Stay tuned for more information on the 2017 Good Living Tour soon.
