Part of Something Larger

John Mlynczak   •   27 min.

Music is not made to stay in the classroom. When schools share what their students create, families and communities get to see the value of the program for themselves, and they become its strongest advocates.

In this episode of Beyond the Building, John Mlynczak, President & CEO of NAMM, talks about why teachers and the music industry are part of one community, how licensing has widened the road for schools to share with confidence, and why building that bridge early helps students become lifelong music makers.
