Built Around What Districts Actually Need

Every Musical Minds Academy program comes with its own curriculum, instruments, materials, and the best teaching artists in your area. Our teaching artists are W-2 employees, cleared through DOJ and FBI background checks before they enter a classroom. With fifteen classes across music, movement, and arts, there’s a fit for whatever a district wants to offer, from drum circle to podcasting. Every class builds toward a student showcase that keeps students coming back.

We build the program with your team, then take it from there: logistics, instructor placement, curriculum, and the records your reporting needs. Prop 28, ELOP, ASES, and CCSPP can all pay for programs like ours, and whichever your district uses, we work within its rules.

Why districts choose Musical Minds Academy

A Partner That Takes Work Off Your Plate

Our teaching artists are consistent, available, and reliable

Every teaching artist clears a five-stage hiring process and required background checks before setting foot on your campus. Senior Instructors run ongoing site visits, and a staffed bench means a callout doesn’t become your problem.

We bring everything

Instruments, materials, iPads, headphones — scheduled around your bell times. No facilities, no equipment, no setup on your end.

We build to the standards you’re measured against

Programs align to the California Arts Standards and the Quality Standards for Expanded Learning, taught from a curriculum built by Berklee-trained founders — hands-on from session one.

Four Ways California Funds Arts, Music, and Enrichment

California schools can pay for music, movement, and arts programs through four state funding sources. Proposition 28 funds arts instruction directly. ELOP and ASES fund before-school, after-school, and summer programs. CCSPP funds a whole-school community strategy. Each has its own rules for who receives it and how it can be spent.
