The MusicVentures Fieldtrip takes students on a musical exploration of the people, historical events and innovations that influenced music making and musical instruments. Led by a trained facilitator, students embark on creative thinking adventure through the instruments on display, sound and video clips, and a variety of group and interactive activities.
Throughout the museum, scouts will learn about the history of American popular music and become familiar with the different instruments as well as important events and people in the history of making music. In conjunction with the tour, scouts earn a special badge and fulfill a number of requirements towards earning their respective music-related badges.
The Museum is committed to reaching students from low-income areas who may not be receiving music education in the classroom. The Title One Fieldtrip program reaches schools that serve these students. This initiative, for third grade classes from qualifying Title One designated schools, provides field trips through the Museum at no charge. Does my school qualify?
