BMS Outreach and Community Programs
Berkshire Music School’s active outreach program brings musical enrichment to underserved students throughout the community during in-school and after-school courses, offered both in-person and online. Our teaching artists also work closely with senior centers, libraries, museums, and other community organizations in order to provide concerts, interactive workshops, small group lessons, and more.
