WHAT IT IS
MUSIC WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE ALREADY ARE
Music in the Community was the initiative of BTGM Founding Managing Director Caila Carter, who built the partnership with Central Florida Vocal Arts to bring voice and music classes into Boys and Girls Clubs and Pace Center for Girls. Our teaching artists went to the young people, at the clubs and centers they already attend, so cost and transportation never stood in the way.
