It's Elementary
It's Elementary is an education program sponsored by the Santa Rosa Symphony, reaching over 1,700 students each year. In any given year, four carefully selected elementary schools in Sonoma County receive a full range of music education activities and services designed for that school. The highlights of this program include four in-school assembly performances featuring Santa Rosa Symphony musicians, a daily music listening program, professional development for teachers, in-school performances by the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Ensembles, and free tickets to the Discovery open rehearsal series for the entire student body.

Free Concerts for Youth
Free Concerts for Youth reach more than 6,000 elementary school students annually. In addition to experiencing the grandeur of the concert hall, children are encouraged to view orchestral music as an integral aspect of artistic expression. Quite often this is the student's first exposure to classical music. Many professional musicians credit attending a youth concert with inspiring them to pursue a career in music.

Elementary Music Listening Program
Now in over 400 Sonoma County classrooms, this service offers daily, non-directed classical music listening in the classroom, using the acclaimed Brummitt-Taylor program, proven in thousands of classrooms in the United States and Canada for twenty years. It is primarily intended for school wide participation (through daily broadcasts over the school's PA system), but it can be used in individual classrooms by special arrangement instead. It offers ideas for incorporating music into other core subject areas.
