Community Partnerships

KSO works closely with community partners to develop programs that meet community needs, eliminate barriers to music learning, and connect young musicians in our community with professional KSO mentors.

Marvelous Music

Marvelous Music

Preschool children are learning and developing through Marvelous Music, using the internationally recognized Music Together(R) curriculum. This program builds social-emotional skills (active participation, focus, expression) and Kindergarten readiness skills (motor skills, musical aptitude, pre-reading skills) through music and movement. Marvelous Music is a collaboration of KSO and Crescendo Academy of Music and works in partnership with KRESA Head Start, Great Start Readiness Programs, and KRESA Great Start.
