Welcome to the Music for All Network
 The Music for All Network is about YOU. It's about your music, your interests, your program. It's also about connecting this big, great world of people who love music. Whether you play in your garage band, sing in your choir, teach lessons or lead an orchestra, there's a place for you in the Network.
Our growing, grassroots community is based on a system of location-based chapters around the country called "hubs" matched by an online community so you can share, explore, and engage with people who want to be a part of making "music for all" a reality. Gain access to live streaming and on-demand multimedia, as well as program templates, advocacy materials, the latest music education news and more. Make a difference in your community and connect with people just like you who want to teach, lead, serve and learn through music.
- Raise music awareness & strengthen your local music program
- Connect and meet other music lovers through our new social network
- Share musical interests, original art, photos, playlists & your passions
Who should join?
Everyone who loves music! Students, parents, alumni, fans, teachers, supporters. Whether you make music at school, at home or wherever you and your friends get together, you will find people who share your interests in the Network.
