Black Musician AcademyMelanie the Violinist’s Black Musician Academy educates the community on the history, impact, and repertoire of Black classical musicians.
Participants learn about the lives of musicians such as Florence Price, Joseph Bologne, Clarence Cameron White, and Scott Joplin, are introduced to their repertoire, and complete activities to apply the knowledge learned. The goal is to instill a sense of pride in our youth, so they know that they deserve to play classical music just as much as anyone else because their ancestors were part of its creation. Funding for the Academy has been made possible by Awesome Foundation DC, The Puffin Foundation, and private individuals. |
