One of the most vital aspects of music education is attending live performances. Seeing and hearing professional musicians live on stage, and being surrounded by their music, is inspirational and gives young musicians positive role models to aspire to. Have you ever attended a symphony? It’s amazing to see dozens of musicians performing together in total unity, as though one being. The New York/New Jersey area has many venues, ranging from free local concerts to Carnegie Hall, and many offer concerts especially for children. It’s fun to explore various genres of music, and what better way than to step inside one of the small jazz clubs, that often host world class artists! From Broadway to the Blues, Rock, Jazz, and Classical, our area has it all!
