City Music Summit – Berklee City Music Network

MusicFirst is an online teaching tool for students grades K-12. This software-based learning platform includes standards-based lesson plans, engaging content and exercises, and portfolio for the instructor to track each artist’s progress.

Equipped with training sessions, workshops, and events, MusicFirst goes beyond the screen in ensuring that students and teachers have the tools needed to ensure overall success. Online resources and interactive lessons are the newest innovation in music education, and MusicFirst is exceeding all expectations of the classroom.
