La Jolla Music Society Education & Community Engagement Programs strive to bring the live experience of great classical music, dance, and jazz to the students of San Diego County; to nurture the development of young performers; and to enrich the concert-going experience.

La Jolla Music Society believes that a child’s first experience in making music will be a life-changing endeavor. The Community Music Center puts instruments into the hands of children and offers beginning musical instruction and performance opportunities on a variety of instruments.

Fellowship Artists gain musical insight from the masters in daily Coaching Workshops during SummerFest, and local students in the San Diego Youth Symphony are featured during the year on Prelude performances.

La Jolla Music Society continues its tradition of bringing artists to area schools and community centers, giving valuable opportunities to those who cannot regularly attend concerts.

Hundreds of students enjoy their first encounter with live music through discounted or complimentary tickets from La Jolla Music Society.

Recognizing that learning about music is a life-long endeavor, La Jolla Music Society offers pre-concert lectures, guided open rehearsals and public encounters designed to illuminate the artistic process.

La Jolla Music Society partners with outstanding local organizations to support the mission of its Education and Community Engagement Programs. Collaborations with school districts, individual schools and other arts organizations allow us to offer greater opportunities to young musicians in San Diego.
